Limited engagement: 'The Quiet American' as history

Article Abstract:

Graham Greene's 'The Quiet American' witnessed a brief, though contentious, literary span in the late 1950s. The depth of Greene's political message won the novel a controversial place in American political history. The novel's limited appeal stems from its essentially anti-American stance within the confines of the Cold War culture. Greene's political foresight regarding a Third World intervention was deemed as pro-communist and dismissed as an affront to the might of the United States. The novel was suppressed, and a chance to avert the Vietnam war was thus forfeited.

The Ultimate Frank Lloyd Wright: America's Architect

Article Abstract:

The software that demonstrates the art of architect Frank Lloyd Wright is a mixture of stimulating three-dimensional recreation and disappointing lack of thoroughness mainly because of the limitations of the medium, which is CD-ROM. The software needs at least eight megabytes of memory and a 486 microprocessor to run smoothly on IBM and compatible computers. At best, it should arouse added interest in the work of this artist.

American scenes

Article Abstract:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Amon Carter Museum organized an exhibition of late 19th-century and early 20th-century American painting at the Metropolitan Museum. Opened in May 1884, the exhibition, with the title 'American Impressionism and Realism: The Painting of Modern Life, 1885-1915,' assumes that artists considered impressionists and realists can be best understood by being presented together.
