...Throughout Chinese history, education has been the chosen path to serving the imperial courts and improving one's life. In today's fast-growing China, the race has only become more competitive.

China sacrificed a generation to the Cultural Revolution, so its youth today are living partly for their elders. If given a choice, the younger Chinese kids might choose to live their lives a little differently. Lau Yeow Sin Singapore...
Soon, other clips followed the same branching path the Baby did: a cheerleader apparently being flipped through a basketball hoop; Paris Hilton's sex tape; Janet Jackson's famous wardrobe malfunction; a 19-year-old New Jersey man (doomed to be forever known as "the Numa Numa guy") overenthusiastically lip synching to a Romanian pop song.

It’s why I feel completely justified telling my friends to remain circumspect about...
...photographs were a long time coming. Shortly after Alejos’ death, a fifteen-year conflict erupted in Ayocucho between the Shining Path Maoist guerrilla insurgency and the Peruvian armed forces. After the conflict ended in 1995, Alejos’ family went back to his studio and found 100,000 glass plate negatives, 60,000 still intact. From this archive Lucia, Peruvian photographer and Alejos’ granddaughter, has begun to print the photographs in the exhibit, the most comprehensive remaining visual record of mid-century Ayacucho...
