...Dressing Room” features Ali, a fair-skinned plus size model with a big, confident smile and five different outfits for five different occasions. Oh, goodie! If a woman isn’t stick-thin, she’s still got choices about what to wear. The caption asks: “Not a size SIX? Who cares?” Well for one, it seems that Glamour doesn’t care. But on closer inspection, they might care a little more than they...
...keen follower of the phenomena associated with Harry Potter, Notebook was mildly scandalized by the photo and caption below, which appeared in the pages of our very own magazine. We worried that even a hint of lasciviousness associated with the bespectacled boy wizard could ruin one great AOL Time Warner franchise-in-the-making. (We've got pensions to worry about.) Imagine our consternation when we found that sexual currents have been swirling around Harry's broomstick for years.

...fact, to preserve the theoretical intentions of his piece "Sliding Down a Volcano With Kleenex Boxes as Skis," Lawrence Weimer resorts to a textual caption, since the visual image itself is apparently not enough.

It is almost entirely visually uninteresting and the negative space accounts for the vast majority of the framed image. It represents a feat...
...Weimer's caption is a particularly telling addition, since it rightly suggests that elementary school aged children are not prepared to digest the highfalutin philosophy of these postmodern statements-their own viewing lenses are too unsophisticated, uninformed, theoretically simple. Elementary school children tend to be less interested in art as an intellectual enterprise than as an exposition of beauty-an activity that plays on the pleasures of the sense. And while "Sliding Down A Volcano With Kleenex Boxes as Skis" is intellectually appetizing, its over-simplified visual schema doesn't have a leg to stand on in terms of beauty...
...woke that Tuesday morning, I had checked The New York Times online at about 9:30 a.m. The web page featured a little image of the Trade Towers in the upper right hand corner. A stripe of orange and black interrupted the otherwise calm, monolithic facade. A small caption said that a plane of unidentified size had crashed into one of the towers. Though I found this surprising, I figured it was another case of an inexperienced pilot losing control of a two-seater. I threw on some clothes and rushed to breakfast...
