...physically focusing on big things that are far away for more than a few seconds at a time. As I write this, for example, I sit fifty yards from a row of towering trees at the Cabot end of the Radcliffe Quad. When I try to train a steady gaze on them, however, my eyes quickly jump to lock on a short, scrawny sapling ten feet in front of me. Only with extraordinary effort can I return my stare to the trees...
...response, which _Experiments in the Everyday_ fails to do. This is more the fault of the gallery institution in the abstract than of the List Center in particular. Unfortunately, the audience is just as trapped by the gallery institution as the work is behind the glass; the visitors gaze as reverently at, say, a baseball "signed" by Du*rer, as they would at a nativity scene.

...pallet of bricks off the ground. Her expression and features delineate strength. The image is the silk-screened representation of a photograph taken of a Soviet drawing.

There's reason to believe the decision spells very...
There is a campy, master-of-the-universe aspect about it too. But Chandra has reason to gaze from commanding heights. Seven-year-old Zee Telefilms is India's media powerhouse, delivering programs through seven Indian cable-TV channels and reaching 180 million viewers in Asia--and 15 million homes in Europe, Africa and the U.S. The company has expanded into Internet content, and its market capitalization of $10 billion makes it one of India's most valuable firms. While much of India's entrepreneurial talent, energy and money have poured into the booming software industry, Chandra, 49, says...
