...Raemar, Turrell's work has a restrained, elevated air, hushed and deliberate; one thinks of Mark Rothko's paintings, translated into three dimensions and actual conditions of light.

But after a while the question of fullness vs. emptiness turns on itself; in contemplating these peaceful and august light chambers, one is confronted - perhaps more vividly than...

This will leave others to explain the facts of a case, the give-and-take of decision making and the reasoning behind policy judgments. There will be constant questions about the degree of authority with which these others speak. The press is likely to see more leaks from unnamed sources, not fewer, in the Reagan era. The news cannot be told from official statements and handouts alone. Without betraying its anonymous sources (who often bring to light what needs...
