Just as much a wild card, however, are Floridians themselves. They are environmentally conscious on issues like Everglades preservation and offshore oil drilling. Even Crist's conservative predecessor, Jeb Bush, the President's younger brother, championed the former and opposed the latter. Still, the car is king in Florida to a greater degree than it is even in California; and the peninsula is scattered with dead initiatives to curb its use, especially local tax efforts to improve the state's virtually nonexistent public transportation. But Crist, whose optimism is as bright as his tan, isn't worried. "Floridians love their...
...symbols of Japanese nationalism and culture. They may be diverse in style, theme and personality, but what these artists have in common is a fierce devotion to the meticulous work ethic of the solo painter-a welcome change for a scene defined for over a decade by the brand-conscious pop art of Takashi Murakami (who ironically studied for a nihonga doctorate himself...

"One Person, One Vote" is only the beginning...

But the place where the detective will unlock his mystery is a movie palace, the dark cathedral where the communicants' separate obsessions become one dream on a giant screen. And the most fluid form of movies is animation. Paprika is both an argument for and a demonstration of animation's power to put us into a state of alert hypnosis. Watch the images that float by, the impulses that...
