...Anthony LaPaglia plays him in Lantana, police detective Leon Zat is as harsh and abrupt as his surname. He is several things: a tough, angry cop, impatient with a dismal caseload; a middle-aged man, jogging through his chest pains, trying to get back in shape; an unhappy husband glumly trying to find some magic in an affair that's all grim haste and guilty furtiveness...
...easy to laugh at such follies as the 1903 ad for "Men's Corsets, An Absolute Necessity," or the male stockings with fake calf muscles, but many of the body-distorting items in this exhibition are recent fashion misstatements. Categorized by anatomy--feet, waist, chest--this show is most surprising not when comparing Victorian support garments to the 2000 Issey Miyake bustier (above) but in its cross-cultural references.

Past suicide attempts on the bridge have always cleared the support beams, leading the medical examiner to the conclusion that Wiley’s fall was accidental...
