...DIED. GORDON COOPER, 77, one of NASA's original seven astronauts; in Ventura, Calif. Famously casual in his approach to pilot training--and famously brilliant at it nonetheless--Cooper flew twice into orbit, as the sole pilot of the last Mercury mission in 1963 and as commander of Gemini 5 in 1965. For a time, Cooper held the world record for time logged in space, 222 hours, but his strap-it-on-and-go approach served him less well in the lunar program, when NASA preferred more by-the-book pilots. He never got a trip to the moon...

Contributing to the raggediness are song titles like Guero, E-Pro and Brazilica, as well as a guest appearance by Jack White of the White Stripes. Beck appeared in a White Stripes video last year...

Elderfield promises more emphasis on the new. And he now has a museum with galleries large enough to accommodate supersize work, like Richard Serra's massive steel sculptures, MOMA's new piece by Gordon Matta-Clark that consists of a large section cut from an entire house and the room-size installations that became more common in the '70s and after. The danger of so vast an expansion, of course, was that MOMA would itself become economy size, an alienating blimp hangar.
