...battle against sin, a warrior is only as good as his freshest kill, and that is why Hurlbut is riding shotgun this gray Friday afternoon during an assault on a trafficker in lewd videos. At the house, tires screech, and officers leap out with drawn .45s. "If anything's going to go wrong, it's in the first two minutes," says Hurlbut, taking it all in from the Chrysler. Nothing does, but the raid nets only a few small-time video wholesalers. However, clues quickly lead deputies eight miles away to a cramped trailer that proves a cornucopia of hard...
This year, however, Louisville is on the upswing. Four of the seven shows at the just completed festival seem sure to have further life; one is among the freshest, funniest and most poignant works seen on any U.S. stage this season.

...young bourgeois discovered what was to be seen from the eyeline of the bourgeoisie. But his eye for the instant gesture and socially revealing incident went with a lifelong habit of recycling poses and motifs, patching them in. Thus he can be very deceptive: the image that seems the freshest product of observation turns out to have been used half a dozen times before. Degas copied everything from Mantegna to Mogul miniatures, and even the work of lesser painters than himself; an artist, he said, should not be allowed to draw so much as a radish without the constant habit...
