		Boris Artzybasheff Biography ^Votes:0 How does one describe or categorize Boris Artzybasheff? From his very earliest work (the fleeing rabbit from Verotchka's Tales at left and The Undertaker's Garland centaur at right) in 1922 as a 23 year old immigrant from Russia to his 200+ Time Magazine covers over a 24-year span, there is a common thread of strong design and a light heart.

		frontline: the choice '96: Stories of Bill \| PBS ^Votes:0 --> Shirley Abbott, author of The Bookmaker's Daughter , a memoir about growing up in Hot Springs, Arkansas. She had first-hand experience of the divided nature of Hot Springs. Her father was a bookie and every Monday she watched him bring pay-off money to City Hall. Interviewed May 28, 1996 FL: Just paint a picture of this town for us with all the elements. ABBOTT: Well, Hot Springs was unlike any other town in the South, and certainly unlike any other town in Arkansas. People came there from all over. There were people from big places like New York and Chicago mingling on the streets. There were people who had come there to live from far away. There was open gambling, all illegal. There was the race track, which was by the time I was growing up there in the `40's was legal. The state was Read More Go to Site
