...their time, today some of these look not so abstract after all: Abstraction No. 1 reads like a landscape, with sky at top, hills and what appears to be a tower pierced by a window. When Dove talked and wrote about abstraction, what did he mean? Not pure abstract form, certainly. Nature was of absolutely paramount importance to him: in hills, rocks, sea, sky, trees, moon and sun, he saw a richness and variety of shape that inspired him throughout his working life. His project was to "liberate" forms from them, losing or blurring their descriptive qualities while trying...
...week later, though. New England captured its biggest triumph of the season--a 26-20 showstopper against Jacksonville. The Patriots did the unthinkable, upsetting the Jaguars on their home turf. But perhaps a little luck, in the form of In Your House Degeneration X, aided Pete Caroll's squad.

Yet while these methods are cheaper and do not require the handling of radioactive material or disposal of nuclear wastes, they fail a critical test. Aside from cooking, only irradiation is penetrating enough, say the experts, to come close to meeting new federal guidelines mandating "zero tolerance" for microbial...
...Colbert incident was neither as dramatic nor as horrendous as the recent brutalization of Abner Louima at the hands of New York City police. Cases like that grab national headlines, but they are aberrations. More systemic and infinitely harder to root out is a more common form of corruption: too many cops in too many places who routinely flout the laws they are sworn to uphold, cops who come to view the law itself as a maze of misguided rules that hinder their ability to "get the job done...
