+1A.txt
+```
+Van Gogh, particularly in his later paintings, creates a thick swirl of paint which perhaps mirrors the emotional storm raging within.
+```
+1B.txt
+```
+DuFevre piles the paint onto the canvas in thick swatches which rise off the canvas by a good half inch at times.
+```
+1C.txt
+```
+Perhaps the most telling similarity between Van Gogh and DuFevre, the little-known modern surrealist, lies in their use of brushstrokes.
+```
+1D.txt
+```
+It is almost as if he is challenging Van Gogh to a contest to determine who was more emotionally disturbed.
+```
+2A.txt
+```
+Each week, a new “teleplay” was created from scratch-written, cast, rehearsed and performed.
+```
+2B.txt
+```
+Playhouse 90 was truly a remarkable training ground for the young talents.
+```
+2C.txt
+```
+Such future luminaries as Paddy Chayefsky, Marlon Brando, and Patricia Neal worked long hours honing their craft.
+```
+2D.txt
+```
+In some cases, when there were problems with the censors, it would have to be created twice.
+```
+3A.txt
+```
+This is prime tiger country.
+```
+3B.txt
+```
+Late March in Ranthambore, the world is all sunshine, crisp air and flowering tress.
+```
+3C.txt
+```
+But in the late 1990s, tigers vanished from this open, rugged scrubland along the Aravallis.
+```
+3D.txt
+```
+Today, in an ambitious conservation step, work is on here at a frenetic pace to bring back the Lord of the Jungle.
+```
+4A.txt
+```
+The 1971 War changed the political geography of the subcontinent.
+```
+4B.txt
+```
+Despite the significance of the event, there have been no serious books written about the conflict.
+```
+4C.txt
+```
+'Surrender at Dacca' aims to fill the gap.
+```
+4D.txt
+```
+It also profoundly alerted the geo-strategic equations in South-East Asia.
+```
+5A.txt
+```
+Normally, falling oil prices would boost global growth. This time, though, matters are less clear cut.
+```
+5B.txt
+```
+If the source of weakness is financial (debt overhangs and so on), then cheaper oil may not boost growth all that much: consumers may simply use the gains to pay down their debts.
+```
+5C.txt
+```
+On the other hand, if plentiful supply is driving prices down, that is potentially better news: cheaper oil should eventually boost spending in the world’s biggest economies.
+```
+5D.txt
+```
+The big economic question is whether lower prices reflect weak demand or have been caused by a surge in the supply of crude.
+```
+5E.txt
+```
+If weak demand is the culprit, that is worrying: it suggests the oil price is a symptom of weakening growth.
+```
+5F.txt
+```
+Indeed, in some countries, cheaper oil may even make matters worse by increasing the risk of deflation.
+```
