...line than any of the Mighty Duck movies, which is ironic because he plays for the Disney-owned Anaheim Mighty Ducks. The Vancouver native is part Japanese--father Tetsuhiko was born in a World War II internment camp--and nearly all Gretzky. Like the Great One, who was his idol, Kariya makes up for his lack of size with superb skating skills and stick handling. "He has great wheels and good hands, but those aren't his best assets," says Ducks general manager Jack Ferreira. "He has that sixth sense of knowing where everybody is, that great anticipation."

...raison d'etre, and are valued merely because Johns did them. What is the point of those tracings done from a reproduction of Cezanne's Bathers? As homages they're trivial; as formal studies they're as uninteresting as his tracings done from a motif of his old idol Marcel Duchamp. Perhaps it is true that, as his admirers believe, a sublimely arcane and complex intentionality lies behind the fragmented and mingily internalized imagery of late Johns, tying all its scattered hints together.

Next, under Houston's direction, Mrs. Clinton took up the part of Eleanor herself, telling Hillary how hard...
...last, a bedroom where the walls do speak. On the door, a sign warns, DANGER, KEEP OUT! THIS ROOM IS GUARDED BY A TRAINED ATTACK GYMNAST. Sweeping left, a Legends of the Fall poster featuring teen idol Brad Pitt is tacked beside a poem titled "Don't Quit." Religious icons hang above the double bed; a handmade quilt hides the outsize teddy-bear slippers stashed below. Though the third wall boasts framed magazine covers of the room's tenant, the reverie of choice is taped to the desk lamp: Brad Pitt. Above the desk, a fanciful collection of macrame dream...
