...Using a computer to write letters," says Ronald Coleman, a Mount Vernon, Ohio, maker of glass sculpture, "is like using a cannon to hunt rabbits." That may be so, but an awful lot of Americans are still taking that high- caliber approach to communication.

And in a few instances Serban gives in to the urge to be maddeningly and incongruously ambiguous, as when he has two characters enter from a glowing portal set in a huge tapestry depicting a boar hunt. You think of the Juniper Tree rhinoceri and shake your head...
