...criticism in New York Dada, though some of its members were clearly ticked off by the conservative character of the American art world. Picabia even satirized Alfred Stieglitz--whose 291 gallery was the main rallying point for modernist artists like Constantin Brancusi, Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove and Marsden Hartley--as an impotent figure, a camera with a collapsed bellows. Dove himself had a prod at the reviewing establishment in The Critic, 1925--a figure meant to represent Royal Cortissoz, the much feared conservative who had dubbed modernism "Ellis Island art."

Sara is a difficult part to play--she is both the most restrained of all the characters and the most important of them. Hartley keeps Sara on an even keel, displaying small flashes of humor without losing the essential...
Neither side would admit to initiating the talks, but Tom Hartley, a Sinn Fein official, conceded that "there's lots of support for negotiation these days." That also applies in London where the government has made clear that finding a solution to the Irish problem is close to the top of its agenda...
