...personality with the ways of the suspicious natives. On display are more than 120 original prints and drawings, some of them - Cow, Shoes, Flowers, Red Lenin, Hammer and Sickle and Absolut Vodka - chosen to suit uncomplicated local tastes, Bycko says. There are also such Warhol personal effects as a snakeskin jacket, green-tinted sunglasses, a scrap of paper titled "Calligraphy Fragment Found in Pocket of Andy's Leather Jacket" and historical records mentioning Warhol's parents, both ethnic Ruthenians...
...voice. I wanted even the type to be lyrical," she says. Photo editors Marie Tobias and Jessica Taraski complemented that voice by encouraging their subjects to have fun in the photographers' studios. South African singer Brenda Fassie "swept into her session like some marvelous rock-'n'-roll diva, wearing snakeskin boots," Tobias recalls.

Serena, at 5 ft. 10 in., modeled a midriff-baring shirt under a denim jacket and low-riding jeans folded down over her stomach to reveal the brand-new belly-button ring that her father just freaked...
...idyllic Beach Party to morph into Apocalypse Now. Richard descends, or rather soars, into savagery. This handsomely made film--as attentive to Nature's predatory beauty as any film since Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line--goes a bit nuts, along with him. It sheds plausibility like a snakeskin, even as it accrues a needless cinematheque of references: to The Lord of the Flies, The Sheltering Sky, The Deer Hunter. It renounces the audience's complicities when it needs them most...
