...Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art. Each September, the gallery celebrates the budding talents of the Australian art world, and this year's "Primavera" has the riotous colors of hothouse flora. Taking as its subject the painted landscape, it's a terrific show - from the airily spiritual (Pedro Wonaeamirri's totem poles) to the patently superficial (Jemima Wyman's fluoro forests).

...Hetch Hetchy released last fall, Environmental Defense argued that there are alternative ways to provide both the water and the power currently supplied by the O'Shaughnessy Dam. In one scenario, for example, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission would shift its water storage over to the Don Pedro Reservoir, lower down on the Tuolumne River, which feeds the Hetch Hetchy System. But that could be tricky. Don Pedro belongs to the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts, and those districts (whose rights to water from the Tuolumne River predate San Francisco's) are not eager to allow a large urban...
