...exhibit is drawn from the ICP's collection of 20,000 of his original prints from the 1930s to the 1950s, and will showcase over 100 of his rarely seen images, including his often gruesome tabloid-documentarist style: murder victims sprawled on boardwalks covered with bloody drop cloths; crime-scene chalk drawings on sidewalks of bodies since removed. One can easily imagine him driving around the dark streets of New York City of old, waiting for his self-installed police radio to propel him into action.

Will we stop and learn from the Enron lesson in leadership failures, or will we just shrug our shoulders and thank...
...used in the world's poorest regions but also strong enough to withstand natural disasters like the recent earthquake in Afghanistan. The Strawjet - which was selected by a panel of experts, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, for its potential global impact - will be part of a traveling exhibit along with the contest's 24 other finalists, which will travel from New York City's Grand Central Terminal to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio, where it will be on display through September...
