Based at the command's Tampa, Fla., headquarters, the JPSE unit has 38 psychological-operations experts (plus a graphic artist and videographer for film editing), a team that is expected to grow to 113 by 2006, with a projected budget of $77.5 million over the next seven years. JPSE director Jim Treadwell told Time he eventually wants to send those units into Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, where they would produce commercial-quality television ads, radio spots, websites and printed material to burnish the U.S.'s image in those regions. JPSE hopes to award $250,000 contracts...
Leaves, tendrils and roots inspire American glass artist Dale Chihuly, so it makes sense that his work would be exhibited at London's Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew .

In this full-color novella, Alex, a mopey artist, finds focus and meaning in his life only while he's eluding the police after being falsely accused of murder. A fast-paced thriller that uses funny animals to explore existentialist themes of memory and life's purpose, Why Are You Doing This? defies categorization but makes for awfully fun reading...
...actress began sponging the canvas with paint, from which figures began emerging - "like you see faces in cloud formations," she recalls. Eighteen months and 63 canvases later, McKenzie has painted up her own little universe, from street urchins to femme fatales, in a na?ve manner not unlike the Australian artist Joy Hester. It's a passion that feeds and is in turn fed by her acting. "It's allowed me to loosen the reins," McKenzie says. "Because I'm not demanding everything from the roles I play now ? It's just been a phenomenal discovery." And for audiences likewise...
