...Comic-Con Friday, expectant crowds were watching the Watchmen. Director Zack Snyder presented several minutes of footage from his adaptation of Alan Moore's classic graphic novel, extending some scenes from the trailer, he said, "to show more of the non-PG aspects of the movie" to the 6,500 faithful who had managed to score a seat in the San Diego Convention Center. Snyder was joined onstage by several cast members and the novel's artist, Dave Gibbons...
...Miro identified as the main motif of his work: ''tiny forms in vast empty spaces.'' And you are always struck by the sheer amount of work that he lavished upon those tiny forms. The bugs and dogs, even the genital hairs, of Miro's imagination live because of the graphic care expended on them: his solicitude makes them vibrant, his consciousness becomes theirs.

I had entered Parsons in the admissions office and spent a number of years interviewing students and looking at portfolios representing all these disciplines, so I had to learn a lot about them. And then by a crisis of leadership in the fashion program at Parsons, which...
...late May, I finished a gun-safety course in Nevada in order to get my multistate concealed weapons permit. The instructional component is basically a PowerPoint presentation illustrated with graphic pictures and a video of what can happen to you and your flesh if you mishandle a firearm - something like An Inconvenient Truth for the NRA crowd. What really caught my attention, though, was an off-the-curriculum discussion about when I should use the weapon I would have the right to carry. "Bare fear doesn't justify self-defense," the instructor told me. "Only reasonable fear." This...
