...portraits simply drip glamour?the wealthy and celebrated of the day posed for Tamara de Lempicka, and her striking oils capture their red lipstick, perfect nails and skin as glossy as their satin dresses. Some art authorities dismiss De Lempicka (1898-1980), a Polish-Russian painter who flourished in '20s and '30s Paris, as a purveyor of kitsch and leave her out of their histories of 20th century art. Others see her as an icon whose work captured the spirit of the Art Deco age. Not surprisingly, many of her fans today are from the glamour set: present-day collectors...

He said today that the Iraqi authority would exercise political control over major operations of Coalition forces, and added that his answer also described the position of the U.S. But within hours, Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared to dismiss Blair?s answer, stressing that U.S. forces would answer to U.S. commanders, and that although they would consult with the Iraqi government, any time the two sides were in conflict the U.S. forces would do whatever they deemed necessary to protect themselves.

Perhaps, but will anyone want to see it? The Bush campaign and most political reporters will probably dismiss the film pre-emptively as an extended campaign ad. Butler, they will point out, is not an objective biographer, and Samuels, among other investors in the film, is a Kerry fund raiser...
It’s clear that “Bush’s Vietnam” has been no exception to the trend of engaging in dehumanizing behavior in wartime. However, to dismiss the inhumanities as an inevitable reality of warfare, or to distract attention away from them by enforcing positive aspects of the military, is to ignore the gravity of the issue. Only recently, under the pressure of heightened public scrutiny, did President Bush exchange his previously lukewarm expressions of regret for a more sincere apology.
