At 8 a.m. Monday, the day after Christmas, shoppers began lining up outside a Bullock's department store in Los Angeles in a drenching rain, waiting for the doors to open...

Yet in the midst of a darkened landscape, Magritte can mysteriously illuminate the sky: on an ominous day he makes it rain identical men in bowler hats, as impassive and relentless as Kafka's bureaucrats.
