...Minimalists asked, what about an art in which "feeling"--other than the feelings of boredom and of nagging guilt at being bored--was, if not quite eradicated, at least not paramount? Wouldn't that be more honest? An art that, like Euclid in Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem, proposed to look "on Beauty bare"--in the utterly plebeian form of stacked cinder blocks, logs of Styrofoam on the gallery floor, industrial scrap, identical stripes without end or even just arrays of numbered cells on sheets of paper. Wouldn't this surpass the "bourgeois" desire for art as rare commodity...
...turned this experience into what amounts to his own harsh Strindbergian Ghost Sonata remains a mystery. One can easily imagine someone less guilt ridden than Bergman regarding the incident more as a youthful folly than as a life-shaping event. The facts of the matter are mundane enough, as he says in his book. In 1949, Bergman and a journalist named Gun Hagberg, both unhappily married, entered into a passionate affair, beginning with a long tryst in Paris, and continuing after their return to Sweden, where she discovered she was pregnant with his child. A bitter wrangle with her husband...
...Turkish attitudes may only change slowly. Some Turkish bureaucrats privately fear that admission of any sort of guilt would open the country up to the three Rs - recognition, reparations, and perhaps even the restitution of territory.

Among the 71 killed were 34 diplomats...
...Perhaps he's been training with DMX's dogs. But while a good number of teen romances of late have skimped on the quality (just check out the awful "Down to You," which starred Prinze and Stiles), "Save the Last Dance" is a movie that can be enjoyed without guilt. Yeah, sure, there's a lost generation of young folks out there who are buying Britney Spears records and 'NSync concert tickets and watching "TRL" on a regular basis and writing Carson Daly fan letters streaked with tears of passion. But that doesn't mean they don't deserve...
...convict him (remember, even a Republican Senate didn't). But there's a more compelling, unspoken reason he doesn't want Bush's get-out-of-jail-free card. A pardon is the one thing you can't weasel out of. It carries with it the unmistakable implication of guilt, yet there's no precedent for refusing one. Think about it. To the more sophisticated Republicans, Bush could prove a hero for coming closer than anyone else has to nailing Clinton...
