This collection of twenty-four photographs by artist Nancy Royal is arresting for the first eight or nine pictures but redundant after 15 or 16. Any students with some spare time over spring break should trot along the balcony and gaze at them, but those seeking exhibits with depth should go elsewhere...
...from the tenor of their day-to-day lives. But with Picasso, who viewed his art as a diary, the life is the best key to the work. And the work is suffused with the man's traits: his extreme machismo, his predatory eye (the Andalusian mirada fuerte, or gaze of power, which, as Richardson rightly argues, was one of Picasso's fetishes), his belief in the magic power of images, his emotional cannibalism, his charisma and sardonic wit.

Last week the state of Florida filed a lawsuit in federal court against the top U.S. formula makers: Abbott Laboratories (maker of Similac), American Home Products (Nursoy) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (Enfamil). The civil suit accuses the companies of fixing and inflating formula prices...
