...spirit of everyone in the media, I suppose I will have to mention the presidential elections. As I write this, everything's up for grabs-Florida, New Mexico, blue light specials at the local K-Mart-though it might be settled by the time this goes into print. One thing seems certain, though. The new president will probably have worse musical taste than the outgoing one. Just think about it. Clinton shares the last name as P-Funk lead George. Bush is just the name of a weak British band that wants to sound like it comes from Seattle...
...than we are. By midafternoon on Election Day, journalists receive exit-poll data, diced into a zillion demographic categories on whom people voted for and why. Networks use those figures to call states seconds after the polls close (and hint not so subtly at outcomes earlier in the day); print journalists use it to plan election coverage; we all use it to lord our insiderdom over less-well-connected pals. The monopolistic source of the data is the Voter News Service, an exit-polling and vote-counting consortium of the major TV networks plus the Associated Press. (TIME, like many...
...Print: Bush wins. Well, not necessarily Bush, but at least an early win by one candidate that doesn't leave us waiting for days for absentee ballots, and at the moment Bush seems to be the guy with the best shot at an early, decisive win.

Remember, the President is a CEO; he doesn't have to know how to make the widget, only that people need more and better widgets. If you lay out the fine print of your plans, even the press might be shamed into doing a little work to see if they actually work. Which leads me to Rule...
...each contact sheet shows a minute part of Baden's face. Baden rearranges these segments-mouth, nose and eyes repeat in a row, are wrongly placed, or are not there at all. In one portrait, the flesh pulls and pushes apart like an epidermal big bang. Another print plays on the truism that "no man is an island," shoving all the flesh into the center of the sheet and leaving the mouth open in pain, while the sky, which this time reads more as ocean, serenely surrounds the chaos. With their distortions, these prints speak about issues of identity, lack...
