...Sanitation" probably would have been more effective as a street flyer or brochure, but in any case was theatrical enough to provoke considerable response. As Haacke himself puts it, "There's been a tremendous increase in the number of museum visitors, but that has to do with entertainment value. I don't think it has to do with a deeper interest in art." And this year at the Whitney, how could...
According to a Take Back the Night flyer, "TBTN rallies and vigils protesting violence against women have taken place internationally for over twenty years. At Harvard, TBTN is an entire week's worth of events promoting awareness and action about women's issues." Abortion is not an issue of gender-based violence, nor do we believe that it should be considered simply as a "women's issue." The issue of abortion is a question of whether or not a human life is being lost, and the importance of the answer to that question transcends any claims of female empowerment. Furthermore...
There is, unfortunately, no equivalent of a methadone program for frequent-flyer junkies. So Phillips--known to the entire airline industry as the Pudding Guy--got itchy last month when he spotted a deal called Latin Pass, which offers 1 million miles for flying 10 Latin American airlines and completing several other requirements by July 1.

"There's one guy out there with 13 million miles," Petersen says...
...making out like the airlines themselves. Why? "Because we sell the miles," says Bruce Chemel, president of American Airlines' frequent-flyer program. "Healthy Choice, Citibank, Hilton and Avis are all buying little pieces of the ticket." Partner companies pay about 2[cents] a mile, which can add up to more than an airline makes on a straight round-trip sale. "They're not giving anything away for free," says Petersen, who estimates a $2 billion windfall for the airlines in 1999. Still, Petersen says, no more than 15% or 16% of the seats on each flight are available to reward...
