Most conspicuously located in the exhibit is Claire McConaughy's series of paintings, "Memory Flood." Reminiscent of massive footprints or glimpsed clouds, the deep indigo ink imprinted on stretched paper covers its own wall. It is held together by its own repeating patterns, its kaleidoscopic structure, yet is full of a necessary and freeing space. Across the room, Emily Cheng's oil-on-canvas "Silent Elaborations" overtly draws the eye to its center. It's a two-dimensional theater, drapery framing the precious vision of a highly ornate object, the jeweled product of careful work...
...Koetsu's work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, though respectably attended, has not been packing in the crowds. This is a boon for those who go to see it. The fewer people looking over your shoulder when you're looking at one of Koetsu's exquisite moments in ink, the better. It wouldn't be as private as this in a Japanese museum...

A majority stake in CSOB was sold to Belgium's KBC Bank in mid-1999 for roughly $1 billion. Last...

For much of the past seven years, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have been creeping close to agreement on many issues, but not this one. When Israeli right-winger Ariel Sharon visited the site two weeks ago in a bid to boost his political support and reassert Israeli rights to the land, Arabs saw it as an act of such political arrogance that it could only trigger an outburst. In what Arabs call the "Aqsa intifadeh," the uprising of al-Aqsa...
