The deals will allow the sellers of those air rights — a peculiarly New York institution in which value is assigned to the space between a roof and the tallest permissible building height — to reap a fortune in a city where real estate is king.

The intimacy with nature portrayed in "Armadillo Burial" as a girl holds the tail of an armadillo while her accomplices dig and look on with quiet courtesy of a proper burial forges a peculiarly solemn moment that calls to the undiscovered wild within us.

When our delusion is exposed, we drink in that peculiarly savage way that led to English clubs being banned from playing in Europe from 1985 to 183 after a riot at Heysel Stadium in Brussels, in which 39 people died and more than 350 were injured.

On a recent late-afternoon walk along the western edge of Riis Beach, I was met with a raucous parade of oystercatchers, and off in the distance, the tiny, plaintive calls of a piping plover were still peculiarly audible over the hiss of a stormy Atlantic Ocean.

For some, organized hooliganism has become a sort of primal expression of uninhibited Russian masculinity, and it appears peculiarly suited to a moment when the Kremlin is cultivating the idea that Russia must rely on its strength alone in its opposition to a bloodless, overcivilized Europe.

Within a day of reports of his trip however, Giuliani canceled, telling CNN he was concerned that President-elect Zelensky had advisers around him who were "very vocal opponents of President Trump and peculiarly vocal supporters of Hillary Clinton" and that his trip would have accomplished little.

Its association with vulgarity provided bold transgressors with opportunities to make a statement, as the Bodley Head publishing house did, taking inspiration from the illicit yellow-covered French novels for its own infamous periodical The Yellow Book (1894–97) — an example peculiarly absent from this book.

Over the years, David Tomlinson's performance as Mr. Banks, in "Mary Poppins," has grown peculiarly moving in its bluster and its bowler-hatted despair ("A man has dreams of walking with giants," he confessed), whereas Ben Whishaw, as the latest man of the house, is craven and crushed.
|
|
The direction by Bille Woodruff, while choppy and stylistically undistinguished, does keep the picture moving, and support and cameo performances from the likes of Paula Patton, Robin Givens, Brandy Norwood and the rapper French Montana (who carries a peculiarly Timothy Carey-esque vibe) are more than reasonably diverting.
|

So while the Mediterranean-of-feel Blood and Wine is a shinier, happier experience than the war-ravaged landscapes of Wild Hunt were, all golds and greens instead of grays and browns, playing through its main campaign and multitude of secondary quests is also a peculiarly melancholic pursuit.

This approach echoes the one taken more than 30 years ago by the director Jonathan Miller in a production that starred a peculiarly cast Jack Lemmon, and it serves the practical purpose of eating away at what can — in sleepier, slower hands — result in a four-hour running time.

He leaned across the table, reaching his arms toward the page so that his upper body rested on the lacquered wood, a peculiarly teenage gesture, I thought, I remembered making it but hadn't made it for years, and he pressed his finger to the margin of the page.

Her role in his administration has forced her to wrestle with the peculiarly modern existential question of whether it is possible to extricate herself from a company that bears her name and was founded on her image, not just officially (that can be done) but philosophically (that's another issue).

Andrew Balls, chief investment officer for global fixed income at Pimco, the California-based $1.8 trillion asset manager, warns that a weakening of the already peculiarly long economic cycle and central banks withdrawing post-crisis stimulus will push up volatility from historically low levels in the months and years ahead.

Roy Jenkins, in his 19403 biography , sums up the view that prevailed for the bulk of Churchill's career: There are lines of attack to which some politicians, whether or not they are "guilty as charged," are peculiarly vulnerable because they seem to fit in with their general character and behaviour.

LONDON — He has said he has the kind of face that people just don't like — "the 'I don't like face'" — and, in the past few days, quite a few people have tried to prove him right in what seems a peculiarly British cocktail of race, envy and, of course, tabloid newspapers.
|

Although works presented in Thinking Pictures are deeply rooted in the realities of the Soviet life during the 1960–80s, many of them display a peculiarly contemporary sensibility, characterized by the distrust of official ideologies and institutions, and the recognition of the constructed and contextual nature of linguistic and visual signs.

Their empiricism is often taken to be a peculiarly British kind of virtue, defining a difference between British and Continental philosophy that persists to this day: on the one hand, skepticism of knowledge that has no basis in experience and experiment; on the other, outlandish theories based on unrestrained ratiocination.

Earlier this month, attending Nancy Reagan's funeral, Hillary Clinton delivered a peculiarly revisionist encomium, praising the former First Lady for starting "a national conversation" about AIDS and being a "very effective, low-key" advocate on behalf of Americans with H.I.V. Clinton quickly retracted her statement, after high-key advocates pointed out that Mrs.

As Sonia Purnell shows in her new biography, Hall's bravery was of the cool, calculating, unflagging kind that is peculiarly required of the special agent operating for years in enemy-occupied territory, in constant danger of betrayal or of making the one wrong false step that would result in exposure, capture, torture and death.

First, a primer on the peculiarly British tradition of turning on Christmas lights: Typically, a minor celebrity—perhaps a reality TV star, the less-attractive member of a now-defunct pop band, or a celebrity chef—is paid a small sum to light up the Christmas decorations in a provincial town's main shopping district.

The show has proved especially and peculiarly popular in the UK, where average viewership ratings for reruns rose by a whopping 11 percent between 153 and 2015; as of last year, Friends reruns aired up to 12 times a day on Comedy Central UK, which holds the show's British re-broadcast rights until 2019.

Kirsten was definitely aware of the variables of there being more than one set of boobs smashed together and the peculiarly untroubling absence of an erection, but there were things she heard later about two girls—about how soft the female body was and how good another girl smelled—that seemed to her like nonsense.

" When the length of the rope is exhausted, Houdini finds himself trapped in a secret cavern below the Sphinx, where strange creatures perform a ceremony to ancient gods, evoking "a terror peculiarly dissociated from personal fear, and taking the form of a sort of objective pity for our planet, that it should hold within its depths such horrors.

Cade is a peculiarly American fantasy of a totally normal, down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth dude who is also, paradoxically, so smart and noble and strong and kind that he's earned his Chosen One status, while Vivian is one of those Strong Female Character types who actually just exist to bolster the male lead.

I guess I'm just going to have to see how these competing visual identities—this amazingly electric world, that truly pops out of the television, into your lap (oh, if only this was a Vita game, too); and the peculiarly sour, uncomfortably juxtaposed sexualized side to some its presentation—align over the next however many hours.

Before we came to Trenton, a lady with a lorgnette in one of the staterooms was suspiciously turning the pages of hers, the young man who had the upper of my section was deeply engrossed in his, and a girl with reddish hair and peculiarly mellow eyes was playing tic-tac-toe in the back of a third.

Born in Latvia, Ms. Celmins, now 21991, has lived in the United States since 223, having arrived here as a refugee after World War II. And in a tradition going back to the 2179th century, she's a landscapist of a peculiarly American kind, one for whom no visual detail is too small, no thought too big.

"Twin TV shows" don't get nearly the same amount of cultural attention, though, maybe because so much of television operates around familiar, predictable trends — if one year sees four different procedural dramas about a troubled detective with a maybe-love-interest partner and a peculiarly quirky way of solving crimes, that just sounds like a slow year for detective procedurals.
|
|
In one of those peculiarly American moments of hand-wringing cultural panic — like the one about video games now, or rap lyrics in the 1980s — pundits in the mid-1950s decided that kids were too drawn to "lurid" comic books instead of dull "school readers," and therefore failing to learn to read, putting us behind in some Cold War competition or another.

Until then, thinking about dance had been, as Gordon once lamented, "peculiarly conservative," with performative Western dance history unfolding rather apart from the other arts and consisting largely of ballet (which had been twirling in place since the 2541s until its neo-Classical offshoot was developed by George Balanchine) and modern (which the experimentalists felt was overly and falsely expressive).

The two create a peculiarly domestic scene that beckons closer examination: the mat is the work of Do Ho Suh, its uniform thicket of rubber tines revealing, upon squatted inspection, an army of individual figures standing with arms raised; the photograph is the work of Dorothea Lange, its classical composition of a migrant mother and child, lit by the California sun, instantly evoking Depression-era American history.
|
|
That changes only toward the end, with the dawn of an era in which such newcomers as the post-minimalist sculptors Eva Hesse and Lynda Benglis could at once pioneer important developments in art and invest them with peculiarly sensuous qualities that are not about what the female body is like—the fascination of male artists, for millennia—but about what it's like to have one.

They do say that the easiest way to predict the future is to create it, and the idea that you could accomplish that via pickiness about constituent elements of daily life— slow versus quick oats, the way your boots are laced, whether you start a late response with 'Sorry, forgive me, I am the worst!!!!!' or 'Thanks for your patience'— is granular in a peculiarly Virgoan way.

The peculiarly isolated layout of a train -- the engine hitched to the front or back while the passengers sit in their own sealed compartments -- provides a metaphor for the distance the passengers must necessarily feel from the complicated safety mechanisms that hum and click out of sight: The maze of interlocked switches, signal towers,central train control and electronically governed timetables that ensure their journeys are completed without incident.

The practice of adorning tomb with murals was not uncommon in China, although art historian William Watson notes in The Arts of China 900–1620 that they were "virtually absent" from the northern metropolitan territory under the Northern Song rule but appear in the following Liao and Jin Dynasties — showing "that this art, in a characteristic artisan style, belongs peculiarly to a society living under Qitan and Ruzhen rulers," he writes.

In fact, it seemed to raise moderation itself to the status of moral principle, as the author displayed—in a time of campus protest and sharp, flashing rhetoric—a kind of scornful maturity: The fact is that the American intellectual has always lived at such a far remove from power that he has developed a peculiarly grim imagination of power, to which he can relate himself only in angry passivity.

It's a peculiarly contemporary vicious cycle: If your personal brand and your professional brand are increasingly interchangeable, and part of that brand is dressing in a seriously eye-catching way, and that kind of dressing then causes photographers to seek you out and take pictures, that in turn creates pressure to dress more crazily and change more often and get more stuff, which gets more pictures and so on and so on ad infinitum.

"The magnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my country called me, being sufficient to awaken in the wisest and most experienced of her citizens a distrustful scrutiny into his qualifications, could not but overwhelm with despondence one who (inheriting inferior endowments from nature and unpracticed in the duties of civil administration) ought to be peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies," he said, essentially announcing his skepticism and fear at not living up to the task.

Some three decades in the making and newly published by Institute 193, an independent arts center in Lexington, Kentucky, whose programming focuses on contemporary cultural expressions from the American South, Walks to the Paradise Garden is a peculiarly charming, richly atmospheric, often goofy ramble of a book that looks back at one of the most history-laden regions in the United States just as the particular slice of cultural life it examines was already beginning to fade, and for some observers, becoming the stuff of legend.
|

Some notable passages from The Painted Word, include this skewering of contemporary art benefactors and their slumming with artists: Today there is a peculiarly modern reward that the avant-garde artist can give his benefactor: namely the feeling that he, like his mate the artist, is separate from and aloof from the bourgeoisie, the middle classes … the feeling that he may be from the middle class but he is no longer in it … the feeling that he is a fellow soldier, or at least an aide-de-camp or an honorary cong guerrilla in the vanguard march through the land of the philistines.

But he merely took the balance of their payment and told them to sit, and so they sat in that crowded room with a frightened couple and their two school-age children, and a young man in glasses, and an older woman who was perched erectly on her seat as if she came from money, even though her clothes were dirty, and every few minutes someone was summoned through to the dentist's office itself, and after Nadia and Saeed were summoned they saw a slender man who also looked like a militant, and was picking at the edge of his nostril with a fingernail, as though toying with a callus, or strumming a musical instrument, and when he spoke they heard his peculiarly soft voice and knew at once that he was the agent they had met before.
