...presbytery had ordered Swaggart to refrain from preaching for a full year after he acknowledged "moral failure" last February. Although church officials and Swaggart have not revealed the details, a prostitute claims Swaggart paid her to pose nude for him. Swaggart had agreed to a three-month suspension but refused to comply with the one-year ban. Such a long absence, he feared, would cripple fund raising for his Bible College and $140 million- a-year Worldwide Ministries. Swaggart said last week that he still plans to honor the original three-month suspension and not return to the pulpit until...

...best sense, such as Kishida Ryusei's superrefined Still Life (Three Red Apples, Cup, Can, Spoon), 1920, in which the Japanese passion for wabi -- unfussed, natural simplicity -- finds its way into a still-life scheme inherited from Andre Derain. When Umehara Ryuzaburo went to extremes in 1938 with Nude with Fans, the limbs drawn in thick dissonant red and green lines, his prototype was Matisse's work of 30 years before. Occasionally one picks up some shadows and echoes of cubism -- a broken plane here, a little faceting or transparency there -- but in general the Japanese seem to have avoided...
