...bottles, candy wrappers and used condoms. And Michael Ashkin's model-like sculpture "No. 104" depicts a haunting aerial view of an industrial plant-human interference in the natural environment-overrun by oozing swampland. The unconscious emphasis of all these pieces is the horizontal line-a stark, straight, unerring gash that bisects the picture plane and emphasizes the binary of culture and nature...
...jumped over the bars. "They grabbed me and an older man behind me and pushed us down to the pavement. I couldn't breathe or see. I had to go to a house and spray a water hose in my face." Gustavo Moller, an NBC audio technician, suffered a gash above his left eye when an agent pressed the barrel of an automatic rifle into his face as he stood in the front door. "It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen," Moller says. "This is the most inhumane way to get at justice...
...noted poet and lecturer at Tufts University, is having his first exhibit at the Gallery Bershad. Richards's companion for the show is artist Karen Boutelle, whose mixed-media wall-hangings are more visceral than Richards's pale metal sculptures.

Hiaasen's brand of storytelling--a blend of social satire, thriller and investigative journalism--owes as much to Tom Wolfe as it does to Quentin Tarantino. Or do they...
...want to label me," says Lincoln, "anarchist is as close as you're going to come." Lincoln is a lanky 19-year-old Texan who came to Seattle to protest "one-world government" and will leave sporting a nom de guerre, a nasty forehead gash courtesy of a tear-gas canister, and a green bandanna for meeting the press. His beliefs mirror a standard anarchist line: Autonomous government, yes. Private property, no. Would he commit acts of violence to further them? In some cases, Lincoln allows...
