...saved! Word comes that Brian Reich, the campaign's briefing guy, nicknamed Mouse after the can-do character in "The Matrix" - which, incidentally, is one of the veep's all-time favorite movies - is in the media filing area with the laptop. He's ready to send, if I can just get over there and give him my editor's e-mail address...

Riefenstahl was in Africa to revisit the Nuba tribe, which she photographed during the 1970s, a project that drew criticism for its perceived objectification of tribe members...
...stranglehold of the "complexity boys" (as critic-composer Virgil Thomson called them) was challenged by such older American tonalists as David Diamond and Ned Rorem and weakened in the '80s by the deliberately repetitive music of Philip Glass and Steve Reich. But minimalism has proved too simple-minded to satisfy serious listeners hungry for accessible yet challenging new scores. Liebermann, Daniel Asia, Jorge Martin, Paul Moravec and George Tsontakis were among the first younger composers to snub its stuttering chatter in favor of a full-blooded style that is at once unmistakably contemporary (Liebermann, for instance, was influenced...
