...only problem: coal is the dirtiest source of greenhouse gases. Representative Rick Boucher, from Virginia's mining country, chairs the subcommittee on energy, but coal's influence goes further than that. Twenty-seven House Democrats hail from coal regions--a deeply meaningful number when Democrats control the chamber by just 16 votes...
...says. "People can move into it in a lot of different ways." So to enter and circulate within the distorted bowl of his Torqued Ellipse IV is to find yourself inside a resolutely abstract geometric volume that is also somehow a womb, a crater, an inlet and a chamber. By its powerful address to both the body and the subconscious, it sets in motion some very deep mental reflexes, including the ones having to do with anguish, awe and desire.

In some respects, the deal hammered out in the Senate, which looks set to pass the full chamber next week, is an improvement over past efforts. Currently, for example, the estimated ratio of illegals apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol to the number that get across is about 1 to 3. The new plan, with hundreds of miles of new border fence and almost 20,000 new patrol agents, might close that...
