...plates on the floor--there was a whole new world of militant reduction in art, of fiercely simplified forms, preferably in factory-milled materials. Meanwhile he also discovered the virtuoso cabinet maker James Krenov, who was asking how the individual qualities of each piece of wood could give a particular voice to whatever he made. With those models, Puryear had in place the elements of his lifelong working practice. He would put together things that were intricately crafted but not "useful" except in the ways peculiar to the enigmatic objects we call art. And he would begin with an economical...

Fund-raisers face pressure to gather large numbers of checks but have no responsibility to screen them. Fugitive businessman Norman Hsu drew attention to the $850,000 he bundled for Clinton because of some of the donations came from people of modest means. In August, two Michigan lawyers were indicted on charges of soliciting and reimbursing proxy donors who contributed $125,000 to John Edwards' 2004 presidential...
