...meant to be received with extreme piety. These artists, all dead, now have a world audience they could only have dreamed of fitfully when they were alive. We gaze at their frail icons with reverence -- the replays of French Cubism with sturgeons, Cyrillic letters and Tolstoyan beards playing hide-and-seek among their facets; the posters exhorting us to "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge"; the constructions of workers' materials like tin and rope and painted wood; the disembodied black and red squares of now cracking paint. French gallerygoers 100 years ago never felt like this about...
...Cover-Up? Bush critics dub the most controversial parts of prewar Iraq policy "Iraqgate": claims, still unproved, that the Administration has tried to hide the full extent of its tilt toward Iraq by interfering with the prosecution of the Atlanta branch of Italy's Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, which extended more than $4 billion in illegal loans that helped finance Baghdad's purchase of equipment with potential military applications.

But what sort of life is that...
Doctors delivered the baby by emergency caesarean. The infant took several breaths, then died; the mother survived and went home to live with her family. Knighton meanwhile slipped away from the hospital and made his way to his father's house near Pompano Beach, where he hoped to hide out for a while. But his father persuaded him to turn himself in, and the boy was charged as an adult with second-degree murder and aggravated battery. He eventually pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and in April 1991 was sentenced to four years in the Indian River Correctional Institution...
