...Meryl Streep, in her best and most hilarious performance of the year), to the stagehands (who wear Acme Movers coveralls, then tuxedos, then jogging suits, as the scenic occasion demands). The cast is collectively splendid, with star-making performances by the two leads. Rose hits every mood, from rue to despair, with perfect pitch, like a manic-depressive Yma Sumac; and Banes, sharp and upscale sexy, looks ready to become an off-or on-Broadway Streep...
Living in the hatchery of cubism, the expatriates' studio in Paris' Rue Ravignan, known as the Bateau Lavoir, Gris was not in at the beginning. He started as a cartoonist and illustrator, and did not even start to paint until 1910. His first cubist pictures belong to 1912, five years (a long time in the avantgarde) after Picasso painted his seminal and outrageous Demoiselles d'Avignon, the five women bathers with bodies of planes and angles.

But its leaders must rue the day in 1979 when David Jessup, who had become a religious dropout in college, decided to join the Marvin Memorial Church of Silver Spring, Md. Jessup, 42, who works with the AFL-CIO'S Committee on Political Education, began to have questions about organizations that received Methodist funds. The end result of his curiosity is the Institute on Religion and Democracy, which, though small, can justly claim credit for the present furor over Protestant politics...
