...Klein claims there is little "moral equivalency" between McCain's brand of lying and Obama's, with the former's ranging anywhere from the "annoying to the sleazy." And Klein could think of only one instance when Obama crossed the line (though never calling it a lie), whereas McCain has turned it into an art form. Absent from the list of Obama's "lies" is his declaration that McCain actually is O.K. with the war in Iraq continuing for 100 years if need be. That pronouncement far exceeds any exaggerations from the McCain camp. The media's love affair with...

So if you don’t lie awake at night dreaming of ways to maximize your utility, perhaps you should start signing up for those philosophy courses you always wanted to take. Consider: If people hear you’re a starving philosopher, they will nod sympathetically. If you tell them you’re a starving...
...intense anticipation of a work that may take decades to come to fruition and the subsequent memories of the project—the memories of those who experienced the work, but also the documentary evidence and preparatory drawings that form the physical residue of a transient installation. Between these lie the climactic two weeks when each project is open to the public; afterward, all the materials are dismantled and recycled.
