Long is a notable case in this art-historical irony, a man who became a professional artist almost in spite of himself. The young Englishman did not start out at the easel, studiously painting still lifes and landscapes. Instead, his art came out of his life, out of his long walks in the wilderness, out of the miles he has traversed in places as diverse as England, Africa and the Arctic. His first works of art were direct factual documentations of his wanderings--maps and photographs carefully recording the trips. Sometimes Long would establish a program; in "164 Stones...
...automobile pollution problem early in the 1970s. Reports TIME Tokyo Bureau Chief Edwin Reingold, who previously was stationed in Detroit: "Unlike the U.S. Congress and successive Administrations, the Japanese did not pick nice-sounding numbers out of the smog and set standards that nobody knew how to meet.

The model prohibits, among other things, the manufacture, sale, advertisement and use of any object that is intended for growing or ingesting an illegal drug. The trouble with such language is that it tends to be overly broad. Authorities would have to prove...
...Instead she asks for two years in which to work out her ideas. He agrees, decent fellow, and at the end of the two years (this is the end of the 19th century, when there still were good men and true) he proposes again. She refuses, not happily and not certain of what she is doing. She says that she intends to be a writer and does indeed turn out a manuscript. The last scene shows her, having posted it to a publisher, leaning on the gate of her parents' ranch, smiling. This is a modest, clear sighted film...
