...DIED. DAVID MYERS, 90, cinematographer best known for his idiosyncratic camera work on concert documentaries such as 1970's Oscar-winning Woodstock; in San Francisco. Myers also worked on such feature films as George Lucas' 1971 futuristic debut THX 1138 and Alan Rudolph's 1977 drama Welcome to L.A.

...thing a camera does superbly is to seize the moment. Last week, Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art put on a show of pictures?each made in a wink?which brought back moments from the past decade more vividly than memory can.

Triumph’s muse Robert Smigel kept a tight grip on his charge—the puppet never left his arm. Smigel, a longtime Saturday...
Mark Thatcher likes his privacy. at the whitewashed mansion he shares with his wife and two children in Constantia, outside Cape Town, security guards patrol along the neatly trimmed hedges, and a closed-circuit television camera keeps watch from the top of a wrought-iron security gate. Such security measures are common in South Africa's wealthier suburbs, but neighbors describe Thatcher, 51, the son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as a security-obsessed recluse. "He's a mysterious character," says one. For such a private man, last Wednesday's morning raid by South Africa's Scorpion police...
