...manages to zip through a concert in half the usual time? The answer, obviously, is no, but the question is not as silly as it sounds. The pay increases that the Government allows during Phase II are supposed to be tied largely to productivity -the value of output per man-hour...
...critic is by definition narcissistic," says Robert Hughes, author of this week's story celebrating the career of Pablo Picasso. "His job is to argue his likes and dislikes in public, then hope that someone takes it all seriously." Hughes has not let such seemly modesty stint his output on three continents. An Australian, he began writing art criticism for a Sydney fortnightly 13 years ago; he was 20 at the time. Four years later, he wrote The Art of Australia. By the time he started contributing to our Art section last year, Hughes had published a second book...
...poet, Communist and ambassador to France, the academy picked another controversial figure. He is only the third Latin American to be given the coveted prize-following his high school teacher, Chile's Gabriela Mistral (1945), and Guatemala's Miguel Angel Asturias (1967).

But Spanish Poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who was killed during the Spanish Civil War, praised Neruda as "a real man who knows that the reed and the swallow are more immortal than...
Nobody knows how big his output has been. The catalogue raisonné of Picasso's work, begun by his friend Christian Zervos 39 years ago, cannot keep up with this immense, almost monotonous fecundity; it runs to 23 volumes, and has only reached the early 1960s. Some two-thirds of this oeuvre is privately owned by dealers and collectors. Thus, in terms of investment, literally billions of dollars hang upon the survival of his reputation, a fact that accentuates the general reluctance to breathe a word against his work...
...Gang is hardly a major addition to Roth's literary output--although I'm sure the House of Random will do its damnedest to make us think otherwise--but it is a most valuable one. For there should be room on the shelves for minor works from major authors. Despite what Mailer would have us believe, to be engage need not be a full time occupation. It's also nice that, in this case, Roth should be the particular example at hand. Those who care to pretend that the seventies are nothing more but the dreadful fifties warmed over need...
