...Wack!," a hugely enjoyable show, immerses you in the plucky, unfettered atmosphere of '70s feminism. After centuries in which men had the last word on how women's bodies were seen in art, it was finally the turn of women to see what to make of themselves. So Ana Mendieta, a Cuban refugee, traveled around the U.S. and Mexico making deep impressions on the ground in the shape of her silhouette. These she filled with rocks or flowers, making feminist earthworks that used a woman's body, not the steam shovels favored by the guys, to connect with nature...
...fitness videos that Helvenston had made. Before Helvenston died, said Berman, the two had been thinking of starting a rock-climbing business together. Neither man had discussed going to work for Blackwater before they literally ran into each other boarding the same plane at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif. By coincidence, they were both heading to Moyock, N.C., for a 10-day Blackwater training course. They spent the training together as roommates...

People's irrational fears helped trigger the crisis last year, but we didn't understand it well enough to take it seriously." For his part, Ramos-Horta is urging his countrymen to look ahead, speaking glowingly...
Looks as if JENNA BUSH may shed her label as the naughty twin. The President's blond daughter, perhaps best known for taking creative license with her driver's license, is writing Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, a nonfiction book due this fall about a 17-year-old single mother who is HIV-positive. Bush, 25, who has been interning in Latin America for UNICEF (which will get a portion of the proceeds), says she hopes to "motivate young Americans to increase their awareness of other young people around the world." If only she had connections, the book...
