...puppet is a threatening black specter - with similar problems Huyghe encountered in mounting his show. This is Not a Time for Dreaming is a film of the puppet show that evokes these two parallel experiences. The character Pierre: Artist looks very much like Huyghe, right down to his fashionable beard stubble and white tennis shoes. Despite winning serious recognition (a special award at the Venice Biennale in 2001, the Hugo Boss Prize in 2002), Huyghe's work has a distinct playfulness. Indeed, the Tate show featured some stand-up comedy performances. For One Year Celebration, Huyghe invited several artists...
...available at those stores. Many of the design elements, construction features and fabrics?including XDSkin, a water-repellent fiber that keeps perspiration from saturating a garment?found in Speedo's new line were inspired by its FastSkin swimsuit, worn by gold-medal-winning Olympic competitors Michael Phelps and Amanda Beard.

Karzai isn't naturally imposing. In person, his slight frame, drawn countenance and trimmed white beard make him look a decade older than his 48 years.

But at best, these measures have brought only temporary relief. Militias and insurgents know to disappear when the U.S. military arrives. Past experience shows that once the soldiers move on, the violence returns. After three days of extended curfews and intensive patrolling in Amariyah, a mainly Sunni neighborhood that...
...people who know them as friendly, regular guys, and all are in their 20s. But the similarities pretty much end there. According to accounts from friends, Don Stewart-Whyte, who changed his name to Abdul Waheed, converted six months ago, giving up drugs and alcohol. He grew a beard, shaved his head and started wearing traditional Islamic dress. Friends say Brian Young, who is of West Indian descent, was troubled by the decadence of Western society. Oliver Savant, now called Ibrahim, has been a Muslim for some seven years and, friends say, never mentioned politics. "He just talked about soccer...
