Like all no-hitters, this one was helped by extraordinary fielding. Donnie Allard ranged deep into the right center field gap to corral a Joel Mock smash in the fourth, and third baseman Danny Skaff made a nifts play on a sharp grounder to nail Pete Shutte an inning later. And Brown's play that ended the game ("I grabbed it off my chest") could have easily bounced through...

...agents) to a waiting car, sometimes under fire, as well as through specially built auditoriums, hotel foyers and offices. In a weapons course, computer-controlled cutouts of possible assassins and harmless citizens pop up from the ground and twirl past windows on a Hollywood-like back-lot street of mock buildings.

In recent years, artists' reputations once thought to be buried for ever have been summoned to their resurrection by art-historical revisionism and the demands of the art market. Brandish ing their wormy palettes, these venerable shades mock the belief in linear progress that was once a byword of modernism.
