...Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge in downtown Laredo, where only 20 customs agents are available to work the import dock. Those agents have to inspect insurance, driver's licenses and immigration papers and look for narcotics and violations of trade-compliance laws. Checking a vehicle for faulty brakes or bald tires is way down the list and not necessarily a customs agent's responsibility, according to chief inspector David Higgerson, the cargo director for U.S. Customs in southern Texas...
...distinguished alumni among the third of its graduates who go into the military (most grads become kick-butt insurance agents and stockbrokers). While the Citadel might not have been a worthy target, Faulkner was nonetheless, as its first female, required to be Uberwoman-as fit as Arnold Schwarzenegger, as bald as Sinead O'Connor and as beautiful as Michelle Pfeiffer. Instead Faulkner was a little bit dumpy, a little bit plain and a little bit whiny (she fought not to have her head shaved). She often looks as if she's pouting when protocol requires that she smile through...
...politics were romantically anarchist. But none of the political ferment of pre-World War I New York rubbed off on him, and none shows in his work. The only painting in this show that could be guessed to show an industrial worker is Pennsylvania Coal Town, 1947; and the bald man is posed like Millet's peasant with a hoe, raking grass outside his house in the sunlight, not hewing at the coal face in darkness. No hints of class conflict intrude on Hopper's vision of American society, which he painted one isolated person at a time...
...fact is, the Endangered Species Act has been used as a weapon in too many bitter environmental battles. It was the only legal artillery greens had, and it saved the bald eagle, now off the endangered list. Thus far, the spotted owl has saved remnants of old-growth forest. Earlier this year the endangered marbled murrelet, a seabird that nests in Northern California's old redwoods, won a lawsuit against the Pacific Lumber Co., with help from activists of the Environmental Protection Information Center. A federal judge granted a permanent injunction against logging Owl Creek. He rejected a claim that...
...Willet (Kristen Johnson), opens the play, describing how she grew to know, love and lose Ward. Dr. Willet delivers her monologue perched n a loft and as she progresses, lights dawn on Ward in his bookish room. In another corner of the stage, a third figure becomes apparent. Bald and stocky, this figure (John Sharian) represents at various points a demon, Ward's grandfather, and a cyborg. He even barks to out of site vampires. The characters vie for attention in the small, steep theater which only seats 27 people...
