...from the foot of Capitol Hill to the Washington Monument, there glitters the newest star of the Smithsonian Institution. The National Air and Space Museum (NASM), a huge, elegant hangar designed by St. Louis Architect Gyo Obata, is a cathedral to man's fascination with flight. Surfaced in pink Tennessee marble and bronze-tinted glass, the museum houses many of the great artifacts of aviation and space travel in a three-story structure 680 ft. long. A Washington rarity in that it was finished on time and within the $40 million budget, the museum was officially opened just prior...
...Tickled Pink. Bishop Davis, a guest officiant from Erie, Pa., then went on to make history. At 3:20 p.m. he laid his hands on the frizzy blonde head of the white-robed woman kneeling before him and intoned: "Therefore, Father, through Jesus Christ your Son, give your Holy Spirit to Jacqueline; fill her with grace and power and make her a priest in your church."

Gentileschi's Susanna and the Elders (1610) is a work of staggering precocity, painted when she was 17. Beauty spied...
Suppressed Eroticism. With a canny mix of showmanship and a keen instinct for his craft, Baryshnikov has devised solutions that infuse his Nutcracker with logic as well as magic. There is the traditional Christmas tree that grows onstage, a puppet show and a pretty pink and white sleigh to transport Clara and her prince. But there is no Sugar Plum Fairy and the cast is entirely adult. Clara, danced by Marianna Tcherkassky, hovers somewhere between child and woman. Her godfather Drosselmeyer, brilliantly portrayed by Alexander Minz, is both fatherly and aboil with suppressed eroticism. Baryshnikov accents mystery and the paradox...
