...catalog of previously concealed horrors, one of the worst records was compiled by the Hanford facility. Documents secured in the past three years by a Spokane environmental group under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that between 1944 and 1956, a startling 530,000 curies, a measure of emitted radioactivity, of iodine were released into the air by the facility -- an amount greater than any ever recorded at a U.S. nuclear plant. In 1953 and 1954 a large quantity of radioactive material was emitted, depositing particles near the ranching town of Mesa, about 15 miles from Hanford's boundary...
...show's five curators, anthropologists with an unusual sensitivity to the way images work in Aboriginal life, have produced in their catalog what may be the best short introduction to the Aboriginal world view now in print. Very briefly, the Dreamings are the world's spirit ancestors; they brought the world out of chaos, formed it, filled it with plants, insects, animals and fish, created human society.

Through Nov. 27, "Poussin: the Early Years in Rome," containing 36 paintings and 58 drawings by the master, is on view at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. The show comes with a detailed, argumentative and altogether excellent catalog by the art historian Konrad Oberhuber, who has carried Poussin studies well beyond the point at which they were left at the death of Anthony Blunt. It will not travel to any other museums. And it is a wonderful show, bound to correct whatever stereotypes one may have about Poussin...
