ARRESTED. DENNIS RADER, 59, a city worker suspected of being the BTK serial killer, linked to at least eight murders in the Wichita area in the 1970s and '80s; in Park City, Kans. The killer, who bragged of his crimes in letters to Wichita media in the late '70s and suggested his nickname (the initials stand for "bind, torture, kill"), had not been heard from for 25 years when he resurfaced last March with a letter to the Wichita Eagle, taking responsibility for a 1986 killing...

DIED. FRITZ SCHOLDER, 67, Expressionist painter and sculptor best known for bringing a fresh eye to so-called Indian art in the 1960s and '70s; of complications from diabetes; in Scottsdale, Ariz. One-quarter Native American, he initially refused to paint Indians, saying he hated the usual sentimental images of them as noble savages.

His "Indian" series included the still striking rendering of a Native American man wrapped in an American flag, based on 19th century prison photographs of Indians dressed in surplus flags after their tribal regalia...
...that being a veterinarian was an indoor job." In fact, Berger assumed he'd be a zoo veterinarian, but he found that world, in his estimation, "to have the worst aspects of the military hierarchy--just too regimented for my type of life." In the late 1960s and early '70s, he managed to see a lot of exotic animals, when, at least in Berkeley, "every rock star who was making god-knows-how-much money thought the coolest thing to do was go out and buy his kid a Siberian tiger." But the laws changed, and Berger realized...
...there more than that? Is it truly possible to look at the later Dali, at the endless recyclings of his Surrealist mannerisms or his hologram of Alice Cooper, the '70s rock nuisance, and not shrug? The well-argued Philadelphia show says it can be done--just pick your way carefully among the works. "Salvador Dali," which runs through May 15, doesn't reposition him as a master of the postwar era. But it rescues him from the status of purest kitschmeister and brings back some spectacular pictures...
