...coastlines around the world, almost all the recent development on Florida's panhandle has been large-scale and anonymous: thoughtless high-rise condo stacks inexorably blotting out those few stretches along the beach that still have a neon-lit, corn-dog-and-Dr Pepper charm. But between Pensacola and Panama City, Developer Robert Davis is building a splendid and improbable little utopia. His nascent village of Seaside is an old-fashioned hamlet complete with a town square and a Greek Revival post office. The basic idea is simple and radical, even profound: although Seaside consists mainly of vacation houses...

He went on to a life of diplomacy, helping negotiate the historic transfer of the Panama Canal to Panama and later representing Carter in the Middle East negotiations that followed the 1978 Camp David accords...
Greenfield thus sets a trap; viewers who identify with Monica or Aya are then prepared to identify with women who seem to inhabit a different world. “Spring Break, Panama City, Florida” is one of the more shocking photographs. A tan blond in a green thong bikini mimes fellatio on a tan, muscular man. A second man stands behind the recipient and a third holds the woman’s legs, so she is bridged backwards, her face wedged in the first man’s crotch. Tan onlookers laugh and jeer, unlike gallery onlookers...
