...against such things. Older people don't necessarily appear worse to me than younger ones." Of course, Dubuffet's nudes in the 1950s are sexist, as sexist as Rabelais -- those rosy-brown, squashed-flat, gross and scarily funny "Corps de Dames" that form such a spectacular counterpart to the women De Kooning was painting on the other side of the Atlantic at about the same time. But no moral nitpicker today could accuse Dubuffet of ageism or lookism...

PARIS -- French intelligence sources are worried about reports that the Russian mob (now enjoying a postcommunist boom) has made a deal with its Italian counterpart. The secret pact, the reports say, calls for the Italian Mafia to funnel drugs to the Russians in exchange for sophisticated armaments, perhaps even nuclear weapons. The arms, stolen or purchased from no-longer- Soviet arsenals in the southern Muslim republics, would then be resold to dangerous elements in Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya...

A recent study found that among sexually active young women, only 20% have partners who use condoms.

Like its more conventional counterpart, the pre-Clovis theory has some logistical problems. If humans got to South America by 13,000 years ago, they would have had to cross the Bering land bridge many thousands of years earlier. That would have been no problem, but heading south from there would have been tough: ice sheets -- or the inhospitable terrain they left behind -- cut off virtually all access to the bulk of North America from Alaska between 20,000 and 14,000 years ago. Guidon's rather controversial answer: maybe the immigrants came over to South America in boats directly...
