...bluntest things that have ever presumed to radiate the aura of an art object--which may be what was bothering a recent visitor to the show "A Minimal Future? Art as Object: 1958-1968." The art lover, a guy who looked to be in his early 30s, with shoulder-length hair and a porkpie hat, gave the work a dirty look, furtively checked the gallery for security guards and then briskly walked right across the thing...

Such an opposition is precisely what was created in Iraq under the British League of Nations mandate in the 1920s and '30s, though few policymakers seem to have bothered to study the mandate's lessons.

Those qualities, it turns out, transfer easily onto the stage, making Stiles blaze with hate and pain. She and Eckhart chew into Mamet's fiendishly difficult staccato half-lines with evident relish. Their slow-burning antagonism ignites in the devastating finale. As Stiles gives full vent...
