...kids are so blah. The guy who's supposed to be the leader of of this New Balls gang, a kid from Brazil named Gustaf-Gustafo, Gustavo. . .Gustavo Kuertin, sounds like curtain - he says 'No way, Jose.' He says, 'I'm not part of this,' and he leaves about the same time as Andre. So Andre's gone and Gustafo's gone, and there's only Pete and this kid from Australia named Leigh-something. At least boring is just boring, but I think this kid is bad news. He gets into a fight early on, and I swear...
...very catholic collection. Of course, some of the artists in it, such as the Venezuelan Jesus Rafael Soto, 78, have exhibited quite often in the U.S. But most of them are not all that familiar, and the show makes a strong case that some of them--including Brazil's Helio Oiticica (1937-1980) and Lygia Clark (1920-1988), Venezuela's Gertrude Goldschmidt (1912-1994, a sculptor who worked under the name of Gego) and Carlos Cruz-Diez, 78, and of course that long-dead Uruguayan father figure of South American abstraction, Joaquin Torres-Garcia (1874-1949)--emphatically ought...

Keep an eye on Brazil, which is the key to South America's economic stability. Mexican President Vicente Fox will have much to say to his pal Dubya in Washington next week...
...Since then the Newswatch section has mucked around in the unseemly secret history of the biz. Lately it has been essential reading to get the story behind the collapse of Stan Lee Media, the internet venture of the legendary Marvel editor. (One of the partners has since moved to Brazil while federal authorities seek to extradite him on securities fraud charges. Stan Lee has not been charged with any wrongdoing.) The "Journal"'s news section does excellent work, though it also has its weak spots. Since 1982 the company that publishes "The Comics Journal," Fantagraphics Books, has been publishing...
