...crockery in the still lifes of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin and the pulsating gum balls of Wayne Thiebaud, which in turn bring him to a wise and lovely conclusion: "Artists who push us to look more carefully at simple things may also strike a slightly melancholic note. They remind us of a childlike condition of wonderment that we abandoned once we became adults and that we need art to highlight occasionally, if only to recall for us what we have given up." If that's so, then maybe Kimmelman is not so different from Chardin and Thiebaud. He brings...
...former spd Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine told Time, is that the party "offers an alternative. Wage- and salary-earners, pensioners, young people looking for education urgently need somebody who represents them in parliament." Merkel knows she needs to reach these groups, too. She never misses a chance to remind voters of Schröder's 1998 election pledge that if he couldn't reduce unemployment he wouldn't deserve re-election.

But the two tracks are so entwined that problems on one can easily derail the other. Whenever U.S. casualties spike, as they did last week, the Bush Administration has to remind everyone at home that U.S. forces will not be staying forever. Anxious about slumping domestic approval, the Administration has recently been suggesting that troops may be drawn down as early as next spring. But each time the U.S. signals a likely pullout, the political factions in Iraq jockeying to write...
...both for its brevity--you can get through most of it if Rice is running late--and its ambition. "Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine," Marshall said, "but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos." Hanging outside the Secretary's door, the document is meant to remind guests of a moment when America's top diplomat managed to change the world...
