...Tough digital camera from Fisher-Price has sturdy rubber grips and a color LCD screen so kids can review snaps immediately. ("Look Ma! My hand!") The double viewfinder helps wee ones frame their shots. Image resolution is a mere 640 by 480 pixels (barely enough for a decent 4-in.-by-6-in. print), but low res also means there's more room to store pics: the 8 MB of built-in memory holds some 70 images, and there's a memory-card slot so Mom or Dad can up capacity.

McClellan endured two of his testiest briefings ever, with NBC's David Gregory saying at an off-camera morning briefing that the Administration neglected its duty to put out the information and that White House reporters "don't care if some ranch owner calls a local paper."

Demme employed nine cameramen to catch the action, and he stopped the "live" show between songs to reset camera angles and lighting. What we get is not so much a concert film as a documentary, and a beautiful one. A case in point is the rendition of the introspective It's a Dream: e.g., a close-up on Young's craggy face is framed by silhouettes of members...
...subject of an important show that will open Feb. 26 at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He's very happy to talk about the shortcomings of photography, which he wants you to know is hopeless when it comes to representing the visible world. "The camera can't see space," he says. "It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting...
