Ideologically, we oppose the whole idea of uniformed vigilantes mobilizing wherever they deem their presence is needed. Romantic visions of wild, wild West ranchers hunting down evil bandits should not overshadow other examples in our history of people taking the law into their own hands.

Ukrainian-born Sonia Terk moved to Paris in 1905 and made a splash as an innovative colorist. In 1910 she married Cubist Robert Delaunay, whose work and thought came to overshadow and fuse with her own. While her painting made its mark only after his death in 1941, she established herself in the '20s by applying abstract principles of color and geometry in designing books, ceramics, costumes for Serge Diaghilev and fabrics for Coco Chanel...
