Fear is covered by anger that leads to rage, to hurting others in revenge, to killing others from projecting their inner pain, to killing themselves to escape that inner hopelessness and helplessness. I tried suicide to run... more

Region: New York
Political art is impossible in America today, most critics believe -- except for a few art installations created by humorless lesbians. But this is untrue. Allow me to celebrate a successful work of social commentary by the ever-transforming Lady Gaga. You've no doubt heard this song, if you've been in a supermarket in the last two years: "Born This Way." The tune reached number one in over 25 countries, selling 8.2 mi... more

Region: New York
Am I the only person for whom books appear, in the garage, as if conjured by a bibliophilic genie? One of them is A Time and Motion Study, a slim, hardbound, gray volume produced in 1958 by the unfamiliar-sounding Exposition Press of New York City.

"I'm reading Rimbaud," I would tell people in January -- or that's what they thought I said. Actually, I was saying: "I'm reading Rambeau," referring to Nancy and John, the able writers of The Mystery of the Midnight Visitor, copyright 1962, by Harr Wagner Publishing Company. I was attracted by the astonishing cover, showing four of the major characters -- Gabby, Vinny, Miss Wellington and Bill -- with their backs to u... more
