Just ask Susan Sommers. Two years ago, she quit a job as a Milwaukee, Wis., fashion designer to join her fiance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Now she sells china, pottery and the odd fur coat on eBay, grossing around $30,000 a month and catering to customers as far away as Japan. "I'm making triple my old salary, and I only have to work when I want to," says Sommers. That kind of flexibility was one of the key selling points for Rolando and Lisa Anzardo, longtime New Jersey antiques dealers, who closed their retail store, moved...
...about two dozen vaccines have been tested, most made from proteins found on the virus' coat and delivered via another, inactivated virus such as canarypox. While such vaccines are safe and successful in triggering antibodies, it's not clear that any will be sufficiently powerful to combat the strains of the virus that are currently in circulation...
Thus a monument to the conquest of polio faithful to the facts would consist of not one man in a white lab coat but two of them glaring at each other. Both Drs. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin could and did make convincing cases for themselves and pretty good ones against each other too. But since the public usually prefers one hero to two, and since Salk did get there first, he got the monument...
...ever you were under the opinion that it is Kelly's insufficient drawing skills that lead to his love for minimalism, then his automatic drawings should destroy and completely bury that notion.

Coat Hangers VI (pictured on page 8), although in reductive terms just a "bunch of random lines," shows a tremendous intuitive sensitivity to line and form--it yearns to come alive. This is also evident in Automatic Drawing: Pine Branches (number 68-73), where the dozen or so lines he draws seem...
...Kelly opted for more color. He fortuitously discovered papier gommette, colored construction paper with a nice shiny coat used by French school-children. Intent on discovering the mysteries of the color spectrum and in particular "what colors go well together," he attempted to rely on chance to shuffle his colors. In Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance (numbers 110-114), Kelly relates how he painstakingly divided his background into a grid of tiny squares and then randomly drew and assigned colors out of a hat for each square. "I'll never do that again!" he jokes...
