...white reproductions. As the son of a Protestant clergyman, the young Van Gogh had an early bent for pious, even saccharine religious works, including two big paintings by Dutch-French artist Ary Scheffer that he saw in the Dordrecht Museum, Christus Consolator and The Agony in the Garden. The latter he deemed "unforgettable," adding that "long ago that same painting struck Pa the same way." Van Gogh found landscapes and rural scenes just as uplifting - first Ruisdael and Constable, and then his contemporaries from the Hague School, Josef Israëls, Matthijs Maris, Anton Mauve and their Barbizon-School cousins...
Their mistake had two immediate effects. First, Bragg, already fed up with Crick's impertinence, forbade the pair to work actively on DNA. Second, Franklin, previously suspicious of Crick and even more so of Watson, was convinced that the latter, at least, was a blithering idiot. Chagrined, Watson and Crick turned over their model-making kits to the King's group and urged Wilkins and Franklin to use them. Watson and Crick may have been ambitious for themselves, but they were passionate about knowing the structure of DNA. If they couldn't make the discovery, they would have to acquiesce...
...would be easier to bemoan reality shows' crowding out sitcoms and dramas if the latter weren't in such a rut. But the new network shows of fall 2002 were a creatively timid mass of remakes, bland family comedies and derivative cop dramas.

But at least it's trying to do something besides help you get to sleep. Some upcoming reality concepts are idealistic, like FX's American Candidate, which aims to field...
Though we all like a good cause, there are some things worth fighting over (such as avoiding war with Iraq), and other things not worth the energy. Valentine’s Day is one of the latter. On the 14th, realizing the sugar-coated materialism that drives the holiday is more important than destroying it. It is the holiday of cheap plastic figurines filled with low-quality candy, on which I will spend a romantic evening with my sweetie at a homemade meal, followed by a Valentine’s party. More importantly, it is the holiday that provides...
...former has been a huge success, bringing life back to a historic, but neglected, part of the city. The latter remains the pipe dream of a few (myself included). Patricia Hills, an art historian who lives around the corner from the plant, has been thinking about the artistic potential of the building since the early 1970s, when Faneuil Hall and South Street Seaport popularized the concept of adaptive reuse. Locating the museum in the plant could certainly satisfy disparate groups with disparate goals...
