...some of the thoughts and passions of the gay community, as represented by yesterday's posters? How about, "I praise the good Lord with my wet, quivering clitoris," or, "St. Sebastian: the first fag in the military." What in these posters would encourage a closeted student to attempt to convey his or her most intimate feelings...
Including the mayor, though he did have a look at the exhibition's catalog. It can't convey all the nuances Ofili intends with excrement, though Giuliani might be mollified if he knew that the artist affixes clumps of dung to just about everything, including Absolut vodka bottles and images of James Brown. It can be hard to take this sort of art seriously--it seems designed only to shock, after all--but it is easy to demonize.

...think Tori Amos knows what Tori Amos is saying, but most of us can mysteriously understand what she's feeling. Her fifth solo release, the double-CD set To Venus and Back reaffirms the notion that even a string of random words can, in some way, convey angst, love, and yes, even more angst.

But Brosnan's boredom is infectious, and by the end of the film both principals seem thoroughly weary of one another. Maybe that's the way wealthy people...
...meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Chicago this spring, they showed their prize spectrum to other scientists and asked for their opinion. No one had seen anything like it, and few would hazard a guess about what message it might convey. Stymied at every turn, Djorgovski is pinning his hopes on investigating the object's invisible infrared emissions, which have wavelengths slightly longer than the red light at one end of the visible spectrum. Within the next few weeks, astronomers at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii will train a telescope equipped with an experimental infrared spectrograph on the quarry...
