...Jungen was a graduate of Vancouver's celebrated Emily Carr College of Art and Design, where he had brushed up against Pop, Minimalism, Post-Minimalism and Conceptualism. One big influence--although he saw their work only in photographs--was New York City artists who played with the idea of consumer culture in the 1980s--think of Jeff Koons suspending those basketballs in fish tanks like miraculous relics, or Haim Steinbach, who simply placed consumer goods on nicely laminated wooden shelves, sleek altars for sacred merchandise. Five years after he finished school, Jungen had his first show. One year later...
Manufactured in Hong Kong, Italy and the U.S., the collection is the result of Tommy Hilfiger's acquisition of the Karl Lagerfeld trademark in 2004.

Some critics have tried to put the blame for the U.S.'s scientific decline on President George W.

...aides brief foreign officials on a trove of documents that, according to U.S. diplomatic sources, expose a clandestine Iranian military nuclear-research operation. The documents, found in 2004 on a laptop computer, which U.S. intelligence believes came from an Iranian engineer, contain data on tests for high explosives, a design for a missile re-entry vehicle and a diagram of a green-salt production line. Separately, those areas of research could imply fairly benign intentions. But if an Iranian military agency has been coordinating all the research, the U.S. assessment is "you're talking about a nuclear-tipped missile," says...
