...Ridge put the chance of a major attack some time in the next couple of weeks at 1 in 2, though his spokesman denies he was that precise. Still, lawmakers were inspired to ask him if they should send their families out of town. Officials don't have much color in their faces as they talk about what they know and what they fear. "I can't tell you how depressing those briefings are," says a senior official who hears all the most ominous stuff in the intelligence meetings that start each...
...customer lists, we learned that sarin gas smells like Juicy Fruit gum and cyanide like bitter almonds. Scientists in Colorado just got a Pentagon grant to design plants that can guard our houses and malls: the idea is to engineer the plants genetically so that the leaves suddenly change color when exposed to biological or chemical agents. In New York City and Washington, rumors were viral, spreading by word and wire; a friend calls a friend to say her ex-boyfriend's sister's friend's father is a top New York City cop and told his daughter to "avoid...
Given the challenge he faces in launching a new department in the midst of war and mushrooming deficits, Ridge has stayed upbeat.

A sheepish but good-humored Ridge finally said last week that "we do not want individuals or families to start sealing their doors or their windows," adding that "there may come a time" when authorities recommend that Americans do so.

As the son of a Protestant clergyman, the young Van Gogh had an early bent for pious, even saccharine religious works, including two big paintings by Dutch-French artist Ary Scheffer that he saw in the Dordrecht Museum, Christus Consolator...
...COLOR YELLOW: BEAUFORD DELANEY. The 20th-century African-American expatriate artist Beauford Delaney is probably the least known or understood talent among the Abstract Expressionists. Pigeon-holed as a “Negro artist” by early critics, Delaney nonetheless lived a life of love and art. This retrospective of his work, from the portraits and cityscapes done in New York’s Greenwich Village in the 1940s to the abstract work that followed his 1953 move to Paris, demonstrate his wide vocabulary of topics and emotional colors. Through May 4. Hours...
