...sorry lot, sorely in need of inspiration if they were ever to find their way out of the wilderness. The old minority leader, the sweetly irrelevant Bob Michel of Illinois, would greet freshly elected G.O.P. members with the revelation that "every day I wake up and look in the mirror and say to myself, 'Today you're going to be a loser.' And after you're here a while, you'll start to feel the same way. But don't let it bother you. You'll get used...
Brancusi gave bronze a new dimension by bringing it to a mirror shine, as in the Birds or the golden curves and lobes of Princess X, the sculpture whose supposedly phallic qualities caused such a foofaraw in Paris in 1920. (It would always infuriate Brancusi that Princess X was interpreted as a penis and testicles rather than a woman's head, neck and breasts, but of course the sculpture is richer for its double meaning.)

Rather than trying to mirror the overexposed world of upper-middle-class urban life, Dr. Katz creates its own absurd version of it.

"This is just too hard to accept...
...NASA learned in 1990 with the discovery of the flawed mirror, easy access to the Hubble's innards was crucial. Even so, installation of a complex array of corrective mirrors--essentially fitting the Hubble with a set of eyeglasses--was a high-cost ($700 million), high-risk venture, and some astronomers were dubious. "They considered the whole thing to be rather a Rube Goldberg creation," says Spitzer. On top of that, the list of tasks assigned to the astronauts who flew the repair mission--not just installing the new optics, but replacing an outdated camera, two wobbly solar-energy panels...
