...most eagerly awaited show of the U.S. art season opens this week at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City: the retrospective of Jackson Pollock's work, organized by MOMA's senior curator of painting and sculpture, Kirk Varnedoe, in tandem with co-curator Pepe Carmel.

Who would? The sisters of the Monastery of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel live right around the corner...
Where is the N.R.A.'s courage of its convictions? No guns were allowed at its recent Philadelphia convention! Somehow it is O.K. for members to carry weapons on streets and in malls but not at the convention. What does that say about N.R.A. members? MARTHA FINK Carmel Valley, Calif...
