...Enter the right panel of her new piece. A woman, capped in red kerchief, lifts a pallet of bricks off the ground. Her expression and features delineate strength. The image is the silk-screened representation of a photograph taken of a Soviet drawing. The drawing itself hints of propaganda art. Meanwhile, it represents the work done with bricks, Lemieux's own. The figure's bold gaze redirects the eye, in case it has strayed, back down into the center of the diptych. Striking a balance between left and right is the work done by colors; both the figure...
...first portraits. It was my face superimposed on a kind of cardboard image. It resembled one of those props at Fenway, where you stick your head through a hole and take a picture. On the left panel of this piece, the woman is pushing a pallet of bricks. In my work in 1993, I was working with actual, physical cobblestones. For the past six or seven years of my activity, I've used found images, images that were not mine. At times these pieces tend to be political, yet not supporting one party or another...

It requires new ways of thinking about employees--and customers...
Waller's neighbor, Joseph P. Weidle '99, lives in a less shocking but equally impressive version of the libido lair. Again, the bed is the centerpiece of the room, but here the pallet conjures up the aura of an Arabian harem. Paisley print canopies billow across the bed frame and ceiling, dimming the light to a romantic incandescence. Lava lamps rest mounted from the bed frame and a teddy bear reclines near the pillows while the ubiquitous mirror paneling covers the adjacent walls. "It's so comfortable, I can't get out of bed," Weidle comments...
...Glenn is going aloft to do more than tuck into the cuisine. Discovery will ferry a number of payloads in its cargo bay, including a Spartan satellite that will be released into space to take readings of the sun, a pallet of sensors to measure the ultraviolet environment of space, and several new components for the Hubble Space Telescope that need to be tested in the extreme conditions of space. Most important, the ship is carrying the Spacehab science module, a pressurized laboratory that is connected to the crew compartment and provides additional space for conducting medical experiments...
