...near Paris; the museum is bound by contract not to lend it out. But the Valkhof show makes up for these missing pieces in a creative way: it features an animation of two scenes, February and April, from Les Très Riches Heures. The miniatures have been digitally redrawn and brought to life in a short video, through which the viewer is taken on a fly-through. The Late Gothic paintings lend themselves astonishingly well to this modern technique - it's hard not to feel chilled by the snowy February "landscape."

...ruling resulted from a lawsuit filed in 1982 by black and Hispanic groups claiming that redistricting a year earlier was illegally rigged to minimize minority voting power. U.S. District Judge Charles R. Norgle Sr. ordered the boundaries for seven wards redrawn. Observers expect Vrdolyak's forces to retain at least two districts and Washington to pick up a minimum of three.

The only requirements imposed by the courts are that each district must be contiguous and composed of approximately the same number of residents. The vast majority of state legislatures have given themselves the authority to preside over this process...

The sex-discrimination case alone could result in a multibillion-dollar settlement, says plaintiffs' attorney Joseph Sellers. Wal-Mart's reputation as a harsh employer, along with concerns about unfair competition, has spurred communities in Chicago, Dallas and Inglewood, Calif., to block construction of new stores. The outcome of the cases, thanks to the retailer's prominence, could affect how companies all over the world treat...
