Jordan has helped redefine the art of basketball the same way that Michelangelo changed painting and Mozart reinvented music. He has brought his art to the hearts and minds of the world. STEPHEN LANZA Jacksonville...
Sleep, vegetative unconsciousness, surrender of the will--Burne-Jones' art was largely about passivity, and his knights look a tad sluggish even when they are skewering dragons. He idolized Michelangelo--the year 1871 found Burne-Jones flat on his back on a traveling rug in the Sistine Chapel, minutely scrutinizing the ceiling with opera glasses--and comatose versions of the Slaves and Captives abound in his work. The dream-suffused character of the art of Burne-Jones won him a following on the other side of the Channel by connecting him to painters in the stream of French and Belgian...
...painter or sculptor, not even Michelangelo, had been as famous as this in his own lifetime. And it is quite possible that none ever will be again, now that the mandate to set forth social meaning, to articulate myth and generate widely memorable images has been so largely transferred from painting and sculpture to other media: photography, movies, television.

Scaife is to Clinton haters what the Medicis were to Michelangelo: the ultimate patron. Until late last year he subsidized the so-called Arkansas Project, a multimillion-dollar campaign, run by the Spectator, to dig up and publish dirt about the Clintons and their friends.

The magazine turned over much of that money to Stephen Boynton, a Virginia attorney and conservative activist, who spread it around to hunt down stories about the President through various means, including private detectives. The possibility that...
...harder for them to smuggle it out and to humiliate them. Sales of pink boxer shorts to civilians are a statewide sensation that helps pay for Joe's volunteer posse of 3,000, some of whom carry guns. But hey, Italians have been good thinkers going back to Michelangelo, haven't they? And, by God, "the tradition continues!" Joe bellows at the sausage feed, a fist thrust into the air. And then he lets the applause blow him out the door and into the rain...
