Spector, 39, has been called a genius, often by himself. In a recording studio, he throws tantrums as easily as other producers turn dials, and hurls invective like a rock-'n'-roll redraft of Erich von Stroheim. His excesses of style and manner are legend, and some call him mad. He has waved loaded guns at musicians, made off with the master tapes of completed albums and held them, like booty, against the pleas of artists and record companies alike. He has been mythologized, parodied (in Brian De Palma's film Phantom of the Paradise...
...responsibility to undergraduates by denying them the important social benefits to be derived from the presence of qualified women faculty members. Horner points out that "teaching as a part of socialization is instrumental to the educational process--not just the substance but who conveys it and in what manner, is crucial."

...right; not only did the pores of Dab' 's invention stop oozing about 40 years ago, but the repetition of his stock in trade (the nudes with drawers and lip sofas, burning giraffes and lanky, deliquescent women, the double-image paintings of landscape becoming figure in the manner of 16th century puzzle pictures) be came a bore. Of his latest work, with its grand claims to incarnate everything from the secrets of the DNA molecule to Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty, the less said the better. If these big, greasily executed machines show anything, it is that...
