...what Stetsons are to Texas -- and his heart, burning with neat little flames of patriotic ardor, somewhat resembling an anarchist's grenade about to go off. The letters that spell out SARD in Miro's loopy calligraphy refer, of course, to the traditional dance known as a sardana. Much barer works followed: the astonishing series of a dozen or so large landscapes that Miro produced in Montroig in 1926 and 1927, which include Dog Barking at the Moon, Animated Landscape and Landscape with Rabbit and Flower. It is as hard to account for the spell of the last of these...
...moss, red mushrooms and the thick mulch of autumn's deluge of leaves. But if this art does date to the last Ice Age, its guardians - their bodies probably rubbed with a mixture of ocher and animal fat against the cold - would have looked out on a much barer world. Until, that is, the climate warmed and dense rainforest spread like an incoming tide, forcing people from their caves and gullies into the open areas where prey roamed - even as rising seas drowned their only link to the rest of the world and began their long isolation...
...fringe. In his 1997 directorial debut, Gummo, Korine attempted to "push humor to extreme limits" by provoking random passers-by into fistfights and then filming the results with hand-held cameras. The filmmaker's latest audacious feature, the uniquely bizarre julien donkey-boy, strips cinema to even barer levels.

Using no formal script and few special effects, donkey-boy is at once an avant-garde "art house" film that nobody will...
...months back to back last year, the savings rate was less than zero," says Baumohl. "That's the first time since the Depression that there have been two consecutive months of negative savings." With the bulging Baby Boom generation edging toward retirement and Social Security coffers looking barer and barer, politicians are scrambling to come up with any proposal that will prompt people to take the financial responsibilities of retirement into their own hands. The Roth proposal may help some, but since the plan obviously benefits those who have money to begin with, it still leaves out in the cold...
...after a gasoline price rise of 65%, the government backed off: the increase was halved, and officials agreed to consult with unions and other parties on price hikes. Similar protests have erupted in Bulgaria, where electricity is rationed as much as 12 hours a day and store shelves are barer than they were before the collapse of communism. There are even long lines for candles. Two weeks ago, the government announced a 100-day crash program aimed at reviving the crippled economy; the scheme includes some price liberalization and partial convertibility of the lev. Last week the government survived...
