...many as 3 million impoverished children will die this year of malaria, although easy prevention (bed nets to ward off mosquitoes) and treatments (antimalarial drugs) exist to save those children. Tens of millions of Bangladeshi citizens are being poisoned daily by drinking well water that is laden with natural arsenic, yet the rich world has not seen fit to help resolve this long-recognized crisis. And the list goes on. The failure of the U.S. and other countries to respond to such utterly solvable crises results not only in massive unnecessary death but also in a vicious circle of poverty...
...this play with meaning is immediately clear, it is still hard to know how Prina’s work should ultimately be evaluated, largely because much of it is predicated on the very idea that generalized goals for art making (and therefore generalized criteria for its judgment) no longer exist.

...making and its potential broader social consequences. I think that taking time out to explicitly address these issues in the department’s pedagogy could help strengthen the learning environment, whichever direction that may take in the years ahead.

...Pixies never made sense. A bald, fat genius, a transplant from the Philippines, a chain-smoking matron and a stage magician have no right to write songs about Puerto Rico, the Old Testament and UFOs that are actually good, much less classics. They were far too improbable to exist for any length of time. The concert Thursday was a fair historical reconstruction of that period, and it would be too much to hope for the real thing...
