...went to art school and met a brilliant young art critic, Craig Owens??one of the chief formulators of post-modernism in the arts... I heard about the Whitney Museum’s independent study program... and he encouraged me to apply. So I dropped out of art school and started at the Whitney program at 18. I did that for one and a half years. Toward the end of my stay there, I published my first article, which was about Louise Lawler. The following summer, I did my first museum tour...
...Opera works well enough on its own, which actually might in the end be healthier than forcing a particular production vision beyond its natural limits. Marjorie Owens??s stately, poised Ariadne provides a well-measured foil to Gilmore’s sprightly, impish Zerbinetta.

It is a travesty that in today’s climate of simmering international tension, the Olympics...
...where my Skip Bayless-styled self-righteous indignation kicks in. What did Murphy expect Johnson to do? Was there any doubt someone would ask for the suspensions to be shortened?It isn’t as if Bryant and Schober had pulled a page from Terrell Owens?? playbook, turned on their teammates, and poisoned the atmosphere in the locker room while attempting to renegotiate their contracts. They had—or at least Schober had—been caught breaking a law that most college students have, at one point or another, probably broken themselves, just without being...
