...astonished disciples. Titian's came first, in 1533-34, a picture of masterly calm and balance that borrows the stabilizing horizontal format of Leonardo's Last Supper. In 1542 the young Tintoretto took on the same subject and made it a scrum, full of lunging bodies and energies exploding outward to the edges of the canvas. It fell to Veronese in the mid-1570s to reconcile the two approaches. His Supper has more gestural drama than Titian's - arms are flung outward; one apostle's jaw drops. But because most of the figures are turned inward toward Christ, the picture...
...personal pronoun - is a bit of a snooze in its ambitions and a mess in some of its execution. The device, which is a tad thinner than the DS and has slightly larger LCDs, comes with two motion-detecting cameras. One faces you, and the other points outward to snap images of your friends - thus giving your handheld more sensory inputs for better game play and amusing slide shows. There's even software that lets you take a picture of yourself and modify it on the fly, messing with your features or grafting your face onto other objects in ways...
...ideal of the nondescript, hardworking, heterosexual American male. (In reality, Joe is anything but the American ideal.) Even his costume (designed by Rheeqrheeq A. Chainey ’11)—a suit complete with a red and blue striped tie—reflects his concern with an outward appearance and reputation that gets Uncle Sam’s stamp of approval. Anna Smith’s turn as Joe’s Valium-addicted, sex-starved wife Harper is not quite on par with Breaux’s performance. She has mastered Harper’s childlike sense...
...first great flowering of his career, in the 1950s and '60s, John Cheever was, to all appearances, the crown prince of normality. The wife and three children, the faithful retrievers, the rambling old house in Ossining, N.Y. - in all its outward signs, his life was commensurate with his role as the man who was, with John Updike, the esteemed chronicler of the postwar suburbs. But if you came to his fiction expecting sunlit scenes of American life, you were mistaken. Though his work was shot through with the beauty and abundance of the world, of suburban "nights where kings...
...liberal economic ideas. But I have noticed that people outside the country often sound far surer about where we are headed than Indians themselves. In this, India is a bit like a Monet painting - from a distance, the picture seems clear. It presents an image of an increasingly liberal, outward looking country which is eager for the opportunities that are now within its grasp. But close up, our reality is less straightforward. Many Indians stay cautious about our economic future, and fiercely disagree on fundamental policies...
