...It’s a blend of obsession with physical virtuosity,” Hook says of her new work. “Something very frank and at the same time very surreal. It’s partly a reaction to the times, but also a development of my confidence. It’s less a caricature and much more the situation evoked from embracing movement and technique. In some ways, it’s not what’s the trend. Technique and the exploration doesn’t have to have an illustrative result, but it can have...
Bill Perkins is one angry taxpayer. He's also a Houston-based venture capitalist who says he made a quick $1.25 million betting on stock market reaction to the government's proposed $700 billion Wall Street bailout. He's using the money to fund a series of full-page cartoons in the New York Times - the fourth runs Oct. 3 - that rail against the bailout and peg President Bush, Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke as communists.

There's no attempt to wink at the camera...

My first reaction was that Obama didn't make any mistakes, but he allowed McCain to attack him relentlessly without making an effective counterattack. I saw it as a toss-up, not a momentum changer; the public, however, saw it as a clear-cut Obama win. In retrospect, there were two reasons for this. The first became clear when I read the transcript: Obama was far more forceful on the page than he was on the screen. He just lambasted McCain quietly. A key moment was the Iraq question: McCain...
