I would think of this bed often a year later, after he became seriously ill, and my brothers and sister and I had to start fathering our father, anxiously watching him as he slept fitfully in a series of enormous, elaborately mechanized contraptions that hardly seemed like beds at all.

The interaction of art and cinema throughout the 20th and 21976st centuries progresses fitfully across "Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 21946-22014," an ambitious sprawl of an exhibition that has taken over the Whitney Museum of American Art's vast fifth floor — a space whose flexibility is once more impressively demonstrated.

One of Shklar's other points in her essay is that despite liberalism's prominence in the literature of ideas, its existence "has been very rare both in theory and in practice in the less two hundred odd years," leaving huge swaths of the globe essentially untouched and operating only fitfully in Western Europe.

As the subtitle states, the authors, working in a field that Mr. Levitsky likes to call "comparative regime studies," were looking at regimes in the developing world and the former Eastern Bloc in the years after Communism's collapse — years, that is, when a number of countries were moving, however fitfully, toward democratization.

That tenuous battle has inspired two fitfully involving Israeli plays at this year's Lincoln Center Festival: an adaptation of David Grossman's novel "To the End of the Land," produced by Ha'Bima National Theater and the Cameri Theater of Tel Aviv, and "Yitzhak Rabin: Chronicle of an Assassination," directed by the filmmaker Amos Gitai.

The Providence, Rhode Island duo hurtle themselves into waves of apocalyptic sludge and dire noise with zero regard for their own safety; the riffs come fitfully, lurching and pulling like a rabid dog straining at his leash, as vocalist Kay Belardinelli exorcises her demons in real time, gasping for air and calling down thunder.

As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have begun to dwindle, however fitfully, in the national rearview mirror, they have come to be regarded not as, respectively, "the war of necessity" and "the war of choice," or "the right war" and "the wrong war," but rather as the two leading specimens of a catastrophically mistaken era of intervention.

Loosed from the official dictates of cultural segregation, performances like Mr. Moran's and Mr. Wallisch's might be able to reopen lines of discourse that writers like McKay saw as only ever being fitfully connected — as well as, like all music, pop and otherwise — vulnerable to the distortions of the marketplace and the fickle rhythms of fads.

Let's say you've got a baby crawling around your feet or sleeping fitfully nearby, and soon this kid is going to be hungry and is moving toward solid food and you'd like that to involve real foods and not processed ones or ones processed for you and how is it that that's supposed to happen, really, amid everything else?

Similarly, while Trump's threat to bomb cultural sites in Iran has been denounced widely, easily, and rightfully as a threat to commit war crimes prohibited by international law, that phrase has only ever been fitfully applied to our torture and abuse of military detainees or our efforts to materially aid Saudi Arabia's ongoing slaughters of civilians in Yemen.

The Democratic Party is fitfully and at times awkwardly embracing that change, while the Republican Party is to an extent being torn asunder by it, with one faction hoping to repackage traditional conservative movement politics for a multicultural audience while another faction wants to create a less ideologically rigid movement that stands foursquare against the declining social privilege of white men.

That night in Brooklyn, he walked from spot to spot on the court, hoisting jump shots and corralling rebounds, moving with his odd mix of fidgety energy and grace, so that everything related to game play seems to unfold slowly while anything extraneous — slapping fives with teammates, drumming his feet on the floor as he sits on the bench — moves fitfully.

The president does not directly control monetary policy, but Bennet is making a firm commitment to appoint Federal Reserve Board members who share this orientation (something the Obama administration only did fitfully) and calling for the creation of a national commission to assess whether formal changes need to be made to the Fed's framework in order to accomplish this goal.

New Yorkers have severely diminished expectations for infrastructure, little reason to believe that projects will be finished in their lifetimes, or that builders can take on more than one thing at a time, or move any way but fitfully: expanding the No. 7 line one year, then Second Avenue, someday East Side Access for the Long Island Rail Road, someday Moynihan Station.

The bipartisan (if insufficient) support for Rubio and Lee's child tax credit amendment points to one possibility: Democrats could take up the work-and-family agenda that reform conservatism has fitfully advanced, making something like Senators Sherrod Brown and Michael Bennet's child tax credit proposal or Representative Ro Khanna and Senator Brown's bigger earned-income tax credit idea the centerpiece of their 2020 agenda.

As Howe writes of one of Thek's works: It's a manic condition; barbaric conceptions of an "other self" sawing away our finite future as we approach the laws which govern clutter; leaving at death to return no more although fitfully visiting old haunts with the aid of metal, clay, gauche, glass, glue Howe is interested in original manuscripts not for the content, but, as she has often remarked, to see the personal expressions of an author as they are composed on the page — or, in many of Emily Dickinson's works, for example, upon envelopes, cards, and other surfaces.
