Robert Colescott's work expressed the themes of the lecture series--metaphor, allegory, illustration and narrative--well and was stylistically diverse and interesting to look at; but by far the most intriguing aspect of his lecture was the enigmatic unjustified political statements he made. I left both furious and curious. His attitude is like his art: ambivalent and multipurpose. Just as Colescott stimulated unsettling questions without proposing definitive answers, his artwork leaves both political ideas and the themes of the lecture series as undefined, ambiguous and potentially exciting as they were before he engaged with them.

...Israel "our rifles are ready"--seemed strange, given that the Knesset was debating a controversial land transfer to the Palestinian Authority. According to a senior aide, however, the Chairman's remarks, to a gathering of his Fatah organization, were meant for local consumption only. Arafat, says the official, is furious with the group's secretary-general, MARWAN BARGHOUTI, who has led an anticorruption campaign within Fatah that culminated in an anti-P.A. riot in Ramallah last month.

Musa Arafat's men had ransacked a Fatah office, and the provocation touched off a furious response, fed by growing frustration with the Palestinian Authority, which has a record of torture, blackmail and rampant corruption...
...midnight when the astronomy buffs gathered atop Arizona's 7,000-ft. Kitt Peak spotted the first shooting stars streaking across the cloudless night sky. Then, slowly, the glowing trails began to multiply. Twenty an hour, then 30 and 40, until at 5 a.m. the sky erupted in a furious but eerily silent meteor storm that brightened the sky like a pyrotechnic grand finale. Some of the spectators instinctively shielded their faces, startled by the sensation of hurtling headlong into a cloud of flashing debris. An hour--and some 140,000 meteors--later, it was largely over; the storm waned...
