...oriented society. Lilla LoCurto and Bill Outcault, the artists of the exhibition at the Carpenter Center, explore the "many meanings in today's society" of the female body by focusing on the perceptions and treatment of women's breasts. Creating the ambience of a hospital with steel gurnies and fluid bags, the artists force the audience to view the display with the Foucaultian clinical gaze that has become the bedrock of post-modern criticism.

Thought provoking and intelligent, the exhibition balances serious issues with...

This notion gained support in 1991, when British scientists reported that 58% of the postpolio patients they tested had high concentrations of polio-type antibodies not only in their blood, which is to be expected, but also in their spinal fluid, which suggests a current infection. That does not explain, however, why the disease resurfaces so long after the original infection, and attempts to replicate the British findings have been unsuccessful. Since it's possible that the dormant virus could mutate into active new forms, scientists are searching for such culprits...
