...moment when self-consciousness dawns," Angus Fairhurst once explained. One of the so-called Young British Artists who debuted in the 1990s, Fairhurst worked in media ranging from photography to painting and collaborated with his more confrontational art-school classmates Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas--most notably in the landmark 2004 Tate Britain show "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." He took his own life...
...movie last weekend at Los Angeles' Landmark Pavilion theater, an art-house mecca, was the same as the one that drew the biggest crowds at the Block Orange, a 30-screen AMC theater in a sprawling Orange County shopping mall: a tiny, Spanish-language sleeper called Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna).

Some camped out overnight in hopes of becoming among the few admitted to witness the Court in action at a landmark moment. Anticipation in the legal community was no less fevered, with dozens of parties filing briefs on both sides. Inside, the argument before the Court hinged on the justices' interpretation of the 27-word sentence that has been scrutinized all the way down to its puzzling syntax. The critical question for the justices was whether the language confers an individual right...
