...surprising win in Delaware on Saturday, Forbes desperately needs a win to revive his flagging campaign. Buchanan, meanwhile, hopes a win in Arizona will make his case that he is a legitimate candidate and not someone who is just trying to push the Republican Party to the right. The looser may be Alexander, who Tuesday resigned himself losses in Arizona and the Dakotas that leave him finishing once again well out of first place in a primary. "I'm a patient man," he said, and suggested he would concentrate on looking for a win in South Carolina or in another...
...heightened and almost anal-retentive detail of earlier etchings soon expands to include looser, more casually rendered portraits (such as the mid-eighteenth century "Preste de la Loy") and quick political caricatures (such as those of eighteenth-century Britain). The medium is particularly effective on the larger scale for which this specific printmaking process allows. In Giovanni Piranesi's eighteenth-century "Arch of Ianus Quadrifons," the sheer size and weight of the severe values combine with intense detail, resulting in a piece of surprising presence...
...looking for such a thing in Washington to buy a dog instead.

They were Dorian Gray, and he was the picture. His belly ballooned; his skin was looser; his hair turned a ratty touch of gray. He looked as if he existed on peanut butter and peyote buttons...
...appeal comes partly from the fact that since the networks have become ministudios under looser federal regulations that will allow them to syndicate their own shows, studio bosses are calculating that it's better to buy a network than compete with one. Add to that the passage of the sweeping telecommunications bill in the House last week--a final version has to be hammered out with the Senate--and bigger looks better than ever. With whiz-bang technologies--interactive video on demand, whoopee!--receding back into the future, the familiar and iconic television networks look almost sexy. "In a cluttered...
