...time when Japan seems to be losing pace, India seems to be catching up with it. My car stopped one day at a red light-RELAX, I read on the traffic light-and a little boy came up to me waving a copy of the Ikea 2001 catalog he was hoping to sell. Behind him, a painted elephant trooped past toward a wedding (STOP FOR HORSES, said the roadside sign), and a monkey dipped its hand into a bag of potato chips. In New Delhi, that mix of old East and new West-the elephant and the Ikea catalog-looked...
...glossy brochures and inspirational videos. But that kind of approach is turning off do-gooders like Carol Peeples, 44, a teacher in Salida, Colo., who raised $2,500 for a Pallotta-run Avon Breast Cancer Walk last year. Peeples and other walkers received a coffee-table-book-size color catalog promoting various Pallotta causes, like a suicide-prevention walk in Washington; they were required to watch a "safety video" that some described as a Pallotta infomercial; and they saw Pallotta merchandise, like books by the company's founder, all along the route. Cyclists on last year's California AIDSRide, meanwhile...
...output that can't be compressed into a single show. The Hayward's version, "Paul Klee: The Nature of Creation," was curated by a critic, Robert Kudielka, and a painter, the supremely intelligent and responsive Bridget Riley, the grande dame of English art.

Perhaps the decisive moment in Klee's early career was a 1914 visit that he and his friend August Macke paid to Tunisia, where the warm, sparse...

Whether one considers course offerings limited in these areas depends crucially on whether or not one knows what one is talking about. Anyone who has actually inspected the course catalog with any degree of care would notice that all three of these areas have unequivocally diverse and rich offerings by almost any rational metric...
...last March--too soon to see this show, which was lovingly assembled by Anne Wilkes Tucker, the museum's curator of photography. It remains in Houston through April 14, then moves to Andover, Mass., San Diego, Chicago and Philadelphia--though, oddly, not to New York City. In the exhibition catalog Louis Faurer (Merrell; 208 pages; $65), Tucker notes that Faurer is one of the "missing links" between the Depression-era documentary photography of Walker Evans and the darker moods and more ragged manner of Robert Frank's great 1958 book The Americans. That's exactly right. Faurer, who grew...
