...Giuseppe Lumia, a member of the Italian Parliament's Anti-Mafia Commission, calls the Mafia "a force in movement, in transition." He says remaining bosses may do their best to "absorb" the arrests and continue Provenzano's strategy of keeping the peace within the organization. But Lumia warns that some at the top may feel forced to "impose new leadership through violence." The boss with perhaps the best chance of extending his grip across Sicily - one way or the other - is Matteo Messina Denaro, 45, of the western coastal city of Trapani. Given the historical supremacy of Palermo, that would...

...Giuseppe Lumia, a member of the Italian Parliament's anti-Mafia commission, says the arrest is ultimately a chance to get closer to the core of Italy's organized-crime problem.

Light rays mold the light and shadows on the surfaces of sculpture, reflect from pigments to give the eye its impression of form and color. But in traditional art, color is constant, not kinetic. And even the purest oil or watercolor pigments inevitably reflect not pure color, but a mixture of colors. The present-day luminist's dream of both movement and purity has had to await the 20th century...
...player, Danish-born Thomas Wilfred. In 1921 in New York, he built a kind of visual Wurlitzer, which he called the Clavilux. By moving sliding keys, he activated a battery of projectors behind a translucent screen. He became so skillful that he was able to create what he called lumia compositions-slowly evolving, shifting, glowing abstract patterns. At the Weimar Bauhaus, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy between 1922 and 1930 devised a polished metal and clear plastic Light Display Machine. But such items remained isolated curios ities. It took the 1950s and 1960s to attract a whole spectrum of artists...
