...Democratic Party operative whom Clinton tapped to be Secretary of Labor. A former aide to Henry Kissinger, Lake is bookish and white. An ally of the late Ron Brown, Herman is glamorous and black. He's diplomacy and Mount Holyoke College; she's civil rights and Mobile, Alabama. On camera, where Lake can be quirky and anxious, Herman is cool and unflappable. And so it is all the more remarkable that two quite different people, nominated to do quite different jobs, now face an identical problem when their confirmation hearings begin. Republicans want to ask both nominees how much they...
...full of battle-ready Norwegians in the distance. The blue-screen contrivance of Hamlet's locale is obvious, and the soldiers in the distance resemble reassembling chromosomes. An oft-shouting, fiery character to this point, Branagh's Hamlet begins to scream at the top of his voice as the camera pans away.

"The problem in this country," the movie Flynt proclaims, "is that sex [is considered] bad and ugly and dirty...If you don't like vaginas," he adds, "complain to the manufacturer." He means...
...some of its members were clearly ticked off by the conservative character of the American art world. Picabia even satirized Alfred Stieglitz--whose 291 gallery was the main rallying point for modernist artists like Constantin Brancusi, Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove and Marsden Hartley--as an impotent figure, a camera with a collapsed bellows. Dove himself had a prod at the reviewing establishment in The Critic, 1925--a figure meant to represent Royal Cortissoz, the much feared conservative who had dubbed modernism "Ellis Island art." It is a paper doll cut from one of Cortissoz's own reviews, mounted...
