"Nothing happens at the U.N. unless the U.S. supports it," says a senior U.N. official.

...Making Boys Cry,” the piece for which the collection is titled, consists of three bright, horizontally positioned panels. The first panel pictures a pre-adolescent girl sitting on a table leaning on one arm. She is wearing a pink two-piece bathing suit. The second panel shows the legs of another girl standing on the same table. It is impossible to be sure of her age, but she is likely a pre-teen as well. The third panel captures a young man, wearing sunglasses, looking up at the girl in the second panel. This may represent...
