...institution gutsy enough to take on Ed Kienholz's sex-and-violence-splattered junkshop assemblages, as the MCA will do in December.) Wandering around its modest new permanent collection space, one senses a cultural flowering just as important as any glassy cathedral to contemporary art. Here the fiberglass manta ray and skater-boy video of former "Primavera" artists James Angus and Shaun Gladwell sit happily alongside such contemporary jewels as Jean Tinguely's kinetic sculpture and bark painter John Mawurndjul's rainbow serpent. Here, and across Australasia, spring has sprung...
...earliest days of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, Americans saw, and certainly heard, the bold and blunt style that had made New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin a popular and effective leader in the Crescent City. Nagin's angry calls to "get off your asses" may have shamed the federal government into action, but many of his broadcasts since then-most notably, his controversial decision to let 180,000 residents and business owners back into New Orleans this week, before the approaching Hurricane Rita led him to reconsider-haven't been as well received.

Junzo Masuda, director of iSuppli, a market-research firm in Kyoto, says the real test is how Sharp's big-screen TVs ultimately fare against plasma display panels (PDPs), the dominant type of large-screen, flat-panel displays. Sharp may have better technology, but Masuda wonders whether the company can reduce costs enough to defeat...
...ultimate rewards for the winners in the global TV wars could be vast, as viewers upgrade their old cathode-ray tube sets to flat panels and as broadcasters gradually shift from analog broadcasting to higher-quality digital. Japan has already begun digital broadcasting, and all broadcasts will be digital by mid-2011. In the U.S., every new TV will be required to come with a digital tuner by July 2007, and in Germany digital broadcasts will commence in time for the 2006 World Cup soccer tournament...
