...term outsider art could have been invented for Eduard Bersudsky. In 1958, as a bored Jewish student in Leningrad, his flippant offer to do his work placement "as far away as possible" earned him a lesson on how far that could be in the Soviet Union: a coal mine in Russia 's Arctic north and an army call-up. A stammerer since childhood, Bersudsky was bullied by his colleagues, and he finally stopped speaking entirely. At the Sharmanka gallery in Glasgow, Scotland, Bersudsky now exhibits 3-D expressions of his inner torments and the life he led as an artistic...
...Granville in Normandy. The resulting show, a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Dior's birth, started with two black stallions and a turn-of-the-century carriage that deposited a glorious Edwardian vision in gray tulle onto the runway. The audience was treated to a fashion history lesson, the postwar full-skirted New Look that put Dior on the map giving way to a series of 1950s-style debutante gowns and finally a parade of Hollywood-inspired entrancemakers - all deconstructed to look like works in process and thus demonstrate the skills of the ateliers. There were lessons...

...solved no problems, and it wasn't a demonstration of the power of the people. It shattered the dream of a strong, unified Europe that would counter U.S. supremacy. Gonçalo Marcelo Lisbon Out of the Shadows "Inside Watergate's Last Chapter" [June 13] was a good history lesson for the younger generation, which missed the biggest political scandal of the 20th century. President Richard Nixon and his top aides deliberately flouted the law and lived to regret it, largely because of former FBI official W. Mark Felt, a.k.a. Deep Throat. Revisionists like Pat Buchanan, a former member...
Bush's dilemma is complicated by the fact that conservative groups want the President to appoint somebody who has a clear conservative track record, which means the kind of paper trail that will give liberals plenty to go after. "The lesson learned is not to go with people whose history isn't verifiable. You could end up with a shocker that you have to live with for the next 20 years," says Kelly Shackelford, chief counsel for the conservative Liberty Legal Institute. Shackelford likes long-serving federal-district-court judges such as Emilio Garza of San Antonio, Texas...
