...riveting retrospective of Sudjojono's work at the Museum of the National University of Singapore Centre for the Arts until Aug. 24, entitled "Strategies Towards the Real: S. Sudjojono and Contemporary Indonesian Art," now tries to shed light on his political context and artistic legacy. But it also goes a step further by hanging 16 of his rarely seen works alongside those of contemporary Indonesian artists - among them current auction-market favorites I.

Pointed black fins and huge wet backs surrounded the plane in a companionable way. A mother whale and her calf bobbed by. The pilot watched in awe with...
...interrogator. From these conversations I have been able to assemble a portrait of Hamdan's extraordinary journey from the deserts of Yemen to an al-Qaeda compound in Afghanistan to the dock of the U.S. military tribunal he entered this week. Like few other cases, his story sheds light on how the Bush Administration has prosecuted the war on terrorism since 9/11, and where it might be heading...
