When photography first emerged in the 19th century, art critics predicted a collision with painting. It turned out there was no need to squabble over cultural territory: most photographers document the world, while painters are out to interpret it. The resulting symbiotic relationship is the subject of "The Painting of Modern Life," an exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery until...
...Assault Prevention and Response (OSAPR), ostensibly a counseling and support group, this month prepares for a production of Eve Ensler’s impolite and immodest play, “The V----- Monologues.” One would suppose no logical connection exists between reducing sexual violence and artistic interpretations of sexual empowerment—but the paper-pushers at OSAPR evidently do not care much for logic.

...take on nontraditional roles in the home and family, it also makes a difference to the marriage. Coltrane of UC Riverside and John Gottman at the University of Washington found in separate studies that when men contribute to domestic labor (which is part and parcel of parenting), women interpret it as a sign of caring, experience less stress and are more likely to find themselves in the mood for sex. This is not to say that more involved fathering has erased marital tensions or that it hasn't introduced new ones. Dads admit they get fussed over for things moms...
