...image of the paradisiacal Mediterranean that still haunts our imagination -- despite its present-day reality of myriad gridlocked campers frying in the sun at the tepid edge of a half-dead sea -- was created by these painters and their followers. Their relations with this place, or more properly their invention of it, gave modernism its one practical utopia of the senses, a bourgeois Eden whose roots wound back through a coastal peasant culture (still unhurt by tourism in the 1920s) to the Greco-Roman past. Instead of the pie in the sky offered by constructivism, they contemplated the langoustes...
...hardly be argued that the state's voters did not know whom they were getting. Daschle takes care to present himself as a homegrown product of South Dakota's prairies. Says he: "The only big city I ever went to before I was 20 years old was Minneapolis." Daschle represented about half his state in Congress after 1978, and all of it after 1982; he defeated the other incumbent, Republican Clint Roberts, when a redistricting blended their two districts into one that year.

Articles such as Mr. Lichtman's which promotes only bigotry and violence, are no help to those interested in real peace. Adam Abdelhamid Sabra...
Courts often make a distinction, however, when the property in question is a home and when the residents are present. In recent years, Louisiana and Colorado have adopted laws broadening the right of homeowners to use deadly force against intruders. That approach too can have unforeseen consequences. The Colorado statute, dubbed the "make my day" law, has produced some cases that greatly stretch the home-under-siege scenario. In one instance, a suspected drug dealer shot an acquaintance who was after his stash, according to authorities, and in two others, jealous lovers killed rivals. "What it boils down...
