Under their constant gaze, a black-market slowly emerged of minors who traded money, foods, or maybe the odd sexual favor for precious beer. I have no doubt that had the tailgate continued through the fourth quarter, a currency of cigarettes would have evolved...
Repatriating one’s search records is kind of like wrapping one’s head in tinfoil and running for the border. Beyond the Bush administration’s gaze and shrouded in Canada’s more privacy-friendly (and, perhaps, terrorist-friendly) institutions, a scholar can only hope against hope that research in apparently fringe subjects like nuclear proliferation and Islam won’t lead to her becoming the subject of a (secret) investigation...
...helping turn the gaze of Australian painting away from the bush and toward the urban fringe where, as he put it, "Ninety-five percent of Australians actually live," Arkley was right on the money. And at the time of his death in 1999 aged 48, there were no limits to what he seemed capable of achieving.

In a salon-style gallery designed for the appreciation of modern masters, the aesthetic relationship between Aboriginal painting and 20th century abstraction has never seemed closer. Though as Thomas, the former stockman from Turkey Creek, reportedly said of Rothko, "Who's that bugger that...
