...vain search for a bloodless, odorless, motionless, painless, foolproof mode of killing healthy people. No amount of patching changes the nature of a Rube Goldberg machine. In 1996 Congress passed an extensive overhaul of capital punishment, but as in all previous overhauls, the changes quickly spawned new nuances to appeal. Ten years later, one of the most skillful anti-death-penalty lawyers in the country, Mark Olive, summed up the impact of the grandly titled Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, saying "It gave us 10 years of fresh issues to litigate...

Moore took the biomorphic forms of Surrealist sculpture and painting, detached them from associations of shock or disgust, and reconciled them to the long traditions of the human figure. Even his first more or less Surrealist work, a small stone sculpture from 1932 called Composition - which is not in the show at Kew - is one that Moore developed out of sketches of a child nursing at a woman's breast. Compare it to the grotesque exaggerations of Picasso's 1928 Bather (Metamorphosis 1), a work...
