...What they have agreed on, however, is much more muscular oversight of the Administration's conduct of the war, and it is easy to see the result of that decision every day in Washington. Already, in the first 30 days of the new Congress, Democrats in both houses have held 52 committee hearings on the conduct of the war - an average of more than two for every day the House has been in session since January 9. One House Democratic staffer described the move to kick the oversight up several notches as "a strategic decision...
...invited to perform. "Dance in Europe had been dominated by very conceptual work that was physically very minimalist," explains Stewart, 44, "and we came crashing through with Birdbrain, which is completely maximalist from a movement point of view." From Feb. 20, at Sadler's Wells in London, the extremely muscular choreographer has the chance to further shift perceptions of the body and how it should move through space when he presents the company's 2004 work, HELD. A collaboration with U.S. dance photographer Lois Greenfield, the work pits Stewart's so-called kamikaze choreography against still images captured and projected...

But it is the threading through of more personal visions that transform these tapestries into serenely subversive artistic statements. When Englishman John Williams...
...here’s your typical Craigslist ad: “Masc, muscular, discreet Harvard jock here looking to hang out with another masc Harvard dude.” I am neither masculine, nor muscular, nor terribly discreet about anything, but these seem to be the requirements. I couldn’t very well hope for success if I posted, “Skinny dorky Jewish flamer seeks fleeting sexual gratification from Harvard jock fantasy,” and so I’ve found myself manufacturing a Craigslist alter ego. In Craigsworld, when my faceless torso photo lures some...
