...subjects of photographer Catherine Opie's three portraits in "Face and Figure," on the other hand, wouldn't be caught dead on the side of a note cube. In "Vaginal Davis," "Ron Athey" and "Christopher Lee," Opie presents her subjects before seamless background paper, so they seem to float in space like several of Ritts' portraits, including those of dancer Bill T. Jones. Yet rather than classic black and white, Opie's colorful backgrounds scream in yellow, viridian green, and an ultramarine blue, which matches the color of Vaginal Davis' garish eyeshadow. Except for the tufts of curly green hair...
...Labor Secretary, and then enunciated in Clinton's book Putting People First. There the candidate declared, "While our global competitors invest in their working people, seven of every 10 dollars American companies spend on employee training goes to those at the top of the corporate ladder. High-level executives float on golden parachutes to a cushy life while hardworking Americans are grounded without the skills they need."

Butterflies float across the stage, a miniature church breaks apart when leaves erupt from inside it, and a dancing skeleton in a bowler hat is a macabre emcee...
...back to all that. But first consider just how out-of-the-box this dividend score is. Since 1928, when record keeping started, the dividend yield of the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has tended to float between 3% and 6%. Until now, the lowest it ever got was 2.6% in both 1973 and 1987--just ahead of huge market declines...
...faster, there is one area in which Fidelity still operates in the turtle mode. That is in getting your money to you. It took four days for me to get a disbursement check. Fidelity sent it the slowest way possible so the company could make more money on the float. Over a year's time, we are talking about real money. Fidelity could get the money into the clients' hands faster, but that doesn't add to its bottom line. Amazing, isn't it, that the company does not seem to be working to speed up that process?
