...manifestation of student fervor, the shirt’s message is as clear and emphatic as when it was printed.Though the show at times touches on the question of the role of museums in presenting such works, the issue is never fully explored. One has to wonder what the Guerrilla Girls would have thought of their manifesto attacking the corruption of museum practices hanging in one of the institutions they were protesting. And Glenn Ligon’s “Condition Report,” modified reproductions of a protest poster made by African-Americans stating...
...opposed to turning youth into little guerrilla marketers. It beats thievery and is more honest than many other marketing ploys. It's just that it's a chicken-and-egg proposition: it might take a long time before there are enough Zunes around for this to be more than a once-in-a-blue-moon situation. There are also some issues that will, hopefully, be resolved in time. For instance, if you want to share the song you're listening to, or even any other song while you're listening, your tune will stop playing for the transfer. Also, even...
That, of course, is exactly what some in Washington are afraid of. Ortega's turn-back-the-clock triumph has rekindled memories of Washington's cold war obsession with Nicaragua, which embroiled the U.S. in a bloody guerrilla campaign and nearly doomed the Reagan presidency. Although Nicaragua, a nation of 5.5 million, is one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, the prospect of an Ortega restoration prompted the Bush Administration to threaten to cut off more than $200 million in total aid to the country and moved cold warriors like former U.S. Marine Lieut.

But whether Ortega has shed his penchant for cynicism is another question. He and his Sandinista comrades were global guerrilla heroes when they overthrew the brutal dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979. As Nicaragua's Marxist comandante, Ortega was widely criticized for being as incompetent and corrupt as he was authoritarian. Those who know him say his quest to regain the presidency--he lost elections in 1996 and 2001--stemmed less from...
...Leading in the polls is former President Daniel Ortega - the leftist Sandinista whom Nicaraguans tossed out in 1990 after he presided over a civil war-torn decade of Marxist authoritarianism and economic disaster. Ortega was a bona fide guerrilla hero who had helped lead the Sandinista insurrection that overthrew the tyrant Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979. But Ortega proved to be a clueless and corrupt head of state, and after his 1990 electoral humiliation, he had looked set for the Cold War scrap heap. He failed in presidential bids in 1996 and 2001, and in 1998 his stepdaughter, Zoilamerica Narvaez...
