...full ordering skill in a composition that anticipates what Cezanne came to in the 1880s. Still Life with Salmon, 1866, is such a painting, a wonderful balance between stability and its opposite: you can feel the weight of the fish and the density of the white tablecloth, but the knife in the foreground is precariously balanced, and the blue bowl with a lemon in it has been tipped, self-consciously and for no very apparent reason, toward your...
...propaganda is aimed at young and old alike, with frightening effect. In one Palestinian video, a costumed girl no more than nine or ten shouts, "I will never, never compromise. In my right hand is a Koran, in my left hand is a knife." As the audience applauds, Chairman Arafat is seen tenderly kissing her on the cheek for her performance.

Along one side you can see the waveform of the optical soundtrack, a continuous line of jagged ridges and valleys; on the opposite side runs a line of sprocket holes that allow the cogs of the projector to pull the film past the lamp. Letters can be seen between the holes: G, E, V, A, others I can't make...
