...this years’ Biennale is easily walked past. Do-Ho Suh, a Korean artists who splits his time between Seoul and New York, placed hundred of tiny plastic human figurines underneath a glass floor. Viewers enter his exhibition space and see only white walls and a rusty pipe; it’s often a few minutes before they see the struggling figurines that they are walking over. Such a delayed reaction calls into question the perceptions of passive violence in our society, and the gender-less figurines provided a clever comment on the status of the glass ceiling...
American leadership should not be compromised in pursuit of a technological pipe dream. Rather than protect the U.S. from attack, Bush’s blind insistence on a missile shield has instead done much to endanger our national security...
...Although Myers is clearly a good fit in that regard, I don?t think this is a lead pipe cinch for Star Wars.

Even so, the dreams of an H2O bonanza can be maddeningly elusive. During the past half-century, there have been at least nine proposals for large-scale water diversions from Canada and Alaska, including a $100 billion megaproject to pipe water from James Bay in northern Quebec to the Western U.S. and a bizarre scheme for tugboats to tow icebergs to Mexico.

For space purposes, the amendment counts only the ground touched by the stanchions holding up the pipe. Road widths also are conveniently left out of the space limit. "It's a complete sham," complains Allen Mattison, a spokesman for the Sierra Club which opposes drilling. "It's like a fishing net. If you count just the space of the string's width, that's small...
