Larkin, a De Gournay client, asked the firm to paint fabrics like the Zinfandel Magnolia, above, taken from a tree in Larkin's Napa Valley garden. At Stanley Korshak, Dallas...
Crewdson returns again and again to the same territory, a scene from the suburbs or from rural America invaded by its desires and anxieties.

A second bomber's device failed to go off. Perhaps more alarmingly, it turns out one of the bombers had worked at Heathrow Airport as a security guard. Only the British authorities can tell us whether he had the capacity to slip a bomb on an American airplane - or help us stop the next British suicide bomber...
