...course, to be led by Professor of Fine Arts Henri Zerner, will be a general introduction to the concepts by which technical arts can be ana- lyzed and understood. The course will includespecific examples from history...
...what of Dali's own clockwork? What wound him up? This is the theme of "Salvador Dali: The Early Years," an exhibition opening this week at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The curators, Ana Beristain and Dawn Ades, have brought together a mass of Dali's juvenilia, starting at age 12; the show ends in 1929, with Dali in Paris, moving through storms of controversy, the 25-year-old darling of both Left and Right Banks.

The woman down the hall reports regularly to the local...
...Cuba is a land of dreams, it is because reality is too cruel. Ana's house is a perfect metaphor for the country crumbling around her: the whole economy is in a state of advanced decay. After more than 30 years of Soviet-style socialism, life has turned much worse during what the Cubans call the "special period," the four years since the Berlin Wall crashed and carried away the Soviet lifelines. Cuba must now fend for itself...
