...back from a crescent-shaped driveway, the white Georgian manor sits atop a grassy knoll, its bright red door beckoning in the sunshine of an early Virginia spring. The air is vibrant with the commotion of shrieking children and barking dogs at play beneath budding oaks and hickories. A woman?joking, chiding, cajoling?bustles in and out of the house, chatting with friends who come to visit, taking on an older child at tennis (and winning), carrying a beer to a gardener on the 5˝-acre grounds...
...previous marriage on a farm in Bennington, Vt. His latest oils, shown at Manhattan's Stable Gallery this winter, also show a new, monumental serenity. Raffael now likes statelier themes: an Egyptian bust, a gem-encrusted crown, raised to a magical, almost religious level by his extraordinarily vibrant brushwork and imaginative palette.

The voice as reedy as ever, the knee-walk as wildly right as ever...
...Vibrant Presence. What makes Jim my more winning than his fate is Dustin Hoffman's bravura performance. It should not be confused with acting. Hoffman does not begin to submerge his identity in the role, which is an essential of great acting. He simply projects the vibrancy of his own presence. He looks the way Buster Keaton may have as a child-and like a child, he loves to show off and mimic. He is so obviously pleased with himself when he apes Groucho Marx's loping stance or speaks with W. C. Fields' adenoidal sneer that...
