...temptation to support only the purest and most needy charities hurts more than it helps. The Red Cross doesn’t allow gay men to give blood, an unnecessary restriction that reinforces harmful stereotypes. The Democratic Party of Franklin Roosevelt supported Strom Thurmond. The labor movement once tolerated unions that discriminated against women and minorities. But if donors had boycotted these institutions, America wouldn’t have blood drives, the New Deal, or the weekend. Sometimes if you want to support a positive outcome you have to be willing to accept the bad deeds of good organizations...
...blond. In this 1933 ensemble comedy, Harlow, billed fourth, steals the show as Wallace Beery's conniving wife. An affront to the society swells she meets, she was catnip to amass audience who saw her as their stand-in, with a sailor's mouth and a heart of the purest brass...
...rock nuisance, and not shrug? The well-argued Philadelphia show says it can be done--just pick your way carefully among the works. "Salvador Dali," which runs through May 15, doesn't reposition him as a master of the postwar era. But it rescues him from the status of purest kitschmeister and brings back some spectacular pictures...
...That notion inspires one of Kà's loveliest moments: the male twin and his court jester make shadow puppets--a rabbit, a dog, a bird--on the wall. Simple magic. So is a dance, by Noriko Takahashi, as the daughter of the Counselor's chief archer, that expresses the purest love through the choreographer's art and the dancer's plangent grace. Behind the scenes, Kà is dizzyingly complicated, with a crew of 165, including technicians who operate the gurney crane that moves the platforms and stagehands who prowl the 60-ft.-deep backstage area. But the technology doesn...
...career arc of the Deconstructivists is instructive. When their drawings and early projects first appeared in the late '70s and the '80s, angular, skewed, irregular in every way, they seemed the purest fantasy. But in the space of a generation, cutting-edge methodology became the standard operating procedure. Koolhaas, Libeskind and others like them have tied the old architectural forms in knots, yet they build around the world. You're reminded of that again in the show's final galleries, which are devoted to recent work?some built, some merely theoretical?by contemporary visionaries like Shigeru Ban and Jun Aoki...
