McCulloh has been pursuing these blind photographers for more than a decade, and began pitching the idea of this show four years ago. But the time became right this year, he says because "I'm convinced of its importance. The main trigger is that I've seen a real groundswell of interest around the world in a whole lot of different places, including Tel Aviv, Czechoslovakia, Mexico City, London, Los Angeles....

...Sunday evening's critics' screening with some appreciative applause and rather more vigorous boos, and gave plenty of ammunition to both sides. Yet you can say something about the 53-year-old auteur that couldn't be applied to everyone with films in the competition: he's a real moviemaker, a composer of rich imagery as evocative as it is provocative, a master matador at waving a red cape in front of the most jaded viewers and getting them to charge...

"I'd love to take the money and go backpack around Thailand," says David Kirchblum, who graduates from Boston College's law school next week...
...Despite the mystique the Champenois attach to that pop and whiz of the cork, theirs has long been a love-hate relationship - one that the Maestro aims to help smooth over. While the Maestro's ease of use is certainly a selling point, the new stopper's real advantage over cork closures is as a solution to TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole), the molecule that when present in cork is responsible for wine taint. "TCA is the great scourge of wine," says Peter Liem, the Épernay-based founder of champagneguide.net. "The problem is grave enough that it's becoming...
