...answer was: you bet. Murray's work was not only a hoot, it was deeply intelligent, full of careful deliberations about the interplay of color and form and how together they produce meaning. Like Howard Hodgkin, or for that matter Matisse, she offered us a bright, beckoning palette as a point of entry into all kinds of sophisticated reckonings with form. And though her work is full of references to comic books and cartoons, she didn't put them there as lazy quotations, a means by which to lend herself pop culture street cred. She connected her memories of Disney...
...plan for the future, researchers in Michigan went straight to the past. Led by Dr. Howard Markel, director of the University of Michigan Medical School's Center for the History of Medicine, a team of public-health experts evaluated the U.S. response to the world's last great pandemic - the Spanish flu in 1918. The new report, published in the Aug. 8 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, analyzed the public-health measures taken by 43 U.S. cities, all with populations greater than 100,000, during the six months between Sept. 1918 and Feb. 1919. Markel found...

As a result, voters viewed him as too liberal." In 2003, From took on Howard Dean for opposing the Iraq war. "It used to be that you could kick around liberals and not get a reaction," says Ed Kilgore, a former DLC spokesman turned moderate blogger. "Dean changed that. The liberal blogosphere kicked back...
...able to vote for him, but I just don't know yet." Which pretty much sums up the state of the Democratic presidential race in midsummer. It is weirdly static. In most presidential campaigns I've covered, someone has made a dramatic move one way or another by now--Howard Dean's upward whoosh in 2004, for example. "Yeah, and then I had that downward whoosh," Dean told me recently, laughing. "This race isn't moving because it's still way early." True enough, but what about the volatility on the Republican side--John McCain's crash, the sudden, inexplicable...
