...that every week threw away more artifacts than were made in a year in 18th century Paris. An afternoon's stroll could furnish him with a complete "palette" of things to make art with: cardboard cartons, striped police barriers, sea tar, a stuffed bird, a broken umbrella, a shaving mirror, grimy postcards. These relics were sorted out in his studio, glued to surfaces, punctuated with slathers of paint. They emerged as large-scale collages, to which Rauschenberg gave the name combines. At first they were relatively flat. Collection was almost an orthodox collage: layers of souvenir-like junk half-effaced...
...wolf man is dead!" So wrote Broadway Bard Damon Runyon on the front page of the now defunct New York Daily Mirror as he led a nationwide chorus of ghoulish jubilation over the 1936 electrocution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted kidnaper of the infant son of Charles Lindbergh. Four decades later a forthcoming book, Scapegoat (Putnam), by Anthony Scaduto, a longtime crime reporter for the New York Post, argues that Hauptmann was innocent.

Our aim was the same as LIFE'S-to reflect actuality as well as art, to show both the inner and the outer realities." That reflection is caught in every segment...
...opening frames of A Matter of Time, Liza Minelli is seen riding in a car, gazing pensively at her visage in a hand-held mirror. If the car were to drive off the nearest cliff, you'd be spared what follows--a series of moronic reflections on the mirror's history, featuring Liza and Ingrid (she ain't getting any younger) Bergman. You'd be better off driving yourself down I-95 to look at the fall foliage...
