...dollars in wedding gifts--in a nation where the average annual per capita income is just $225. More appalling, the junta spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2005 to build a brand-new capital city. Yet today Naypyidaw is an eerie landscape of broad, empty streets framed by behemoth government ministries...
...Comprising 68 artists, from earnest Abstract Expressionists to punning Postmodernists, the show follows a similar pattern to the one seen in Bonn earlier this year, and commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the New York-based art behemoth that has spread its museum tentacles to Bilbao, Berlin, Las Vegas and, perhaps next, Abu Dhabi.

...Merrick Bobb agrees. "He's at the helm of a behemoth that for many years was headed in the wrong direction," Bobb says. "Bratton is the first police chief with both the will and the capacity to turn the ship in the right direction. His reappointment isn't in peril in the least. That said, the MacArthur Park incident underscores how much of a challenge he has ahead...
