...effective, any stereotype (whether visual or verbal) must be highly-legible, unambiguous, and easily consumable. Walker's figures are not. Despite the incredible precision of their finely-cut outlines, it's impossible to really know what's going on inside their black, opaque fields. She brilliantly exploits the graphic irony and tension of her medium which seems to provide so much information and yet so little...

She had been made to listen to some of Linda Tripp's secretly recorded tapes of Monica's conversations, in all their graphic detail. Lewis reportedly screamed and suffered an anxiety attack--to the point where a nurse and a wheelchair were brought to her side. In the end, Lewis didn't require either. But she left the proceedings looking pale and shaken. "He's tortured her," Lewinsky's attorney Ginsburg told TIME. "It was intended to be a clear signal...
