Most interesting, however, in both of these shows is the relationship between politics and art, a subject of much debate these days. The full-fledged critique on aesthetics has already been achieved, and art has been stripped to the bare bones of social constructions. This new understanding of art has brought about a theoretical overload, of which the Biennial's exhibition appears symptomatic...
...roughly 80,000 cases a year. The work is often thankless, but every so often a case upholds the promise of Gideon. Earlier this month Frank White, 36, a tall, muscular man covered with tattoos, landed in L.A. County court, accused of murdering a tiny Korean woman with his bare fists. White, diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, refused to take his medication and grew angry when the deputies would not remove his handcuffs.

For most of its eight years, the cavernous mosque on the third floor of a white brick building along Jersey City's Kennedy Boulevard has attracted...
...sales, including 13 gold records, 12 platinum and two double-platinum albums. Ice Cube's latest hit, The Predator, entered Billboard's pop and R.-and-B. charts in the No. 1 slots, the first time a rap album debuted at the top of both charts. From a bare-bones crew of three operating out of a tiny Hollywood office, Priority has grown into a $53 million enterprise with pretax profit margins...
