Holy Cause. Which leaves unanswered the real question: Why did the Teamsters give up a fight they had been winning? Under the agreement, the Teamsters will render unto Cesar workers whom they had been taking away from him. Using their financial resources and, according to the U.F.W., "goon squads," the Teamsters had already persuaded more than 50,000 of California's 250,000 agricultural workers to join them rather than the U.F.W. Chavez, who is better at persuading liberals to regard boycotting grapes and lettuce as a holy cause than he is at administering union services or efficiently parceling...
Color breaks over one like a wave in Jenshel and Epstein's work. Jenshel seeks out the shocking pink in everything--not only in a heart-shaped chair or curtains, but even in a slate roof, or a pine tree's needles. Epstein has two palettes, one to render brilliant events like a fire, one of muted greys and browns to capture the mysterious moods of, say, a harbor. Both photographers' use of color is exhilarating, sensuous. Awash in it, one slips the moorings of sane and pedestrian vision...
...press conference, Carter also discussed U.S. intervention abroad in quite another guise: covert CIA operations. The week before, the President had abruptly cut off the agency's secret payments to Jordan's King Hussein because the Washington Post was about to expose the practice and hence render it useless.* By implication, Carter told newsmen that he had not found anything wrong with the 20-year-old custom of giving money to Hussein. The President said he was reviewing all CIA programs and had so far found nothing wrong. If he did, he promised to stop any "impropriety...
Glashow fears that the startling successes of contemporary physicists may eventually render physics a "complete" science in the same way that he considers chemistry a complete science, lacking any "interesting" questions. He laments the lack of great contradictions such as those evident in early 20th century physics. From such contradictions the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics grew. In the absence of such contradictions, physics proceeds too smoothly, Glashow reasons, and becomes less interesting...
...Loose. Ferrer's imagery has always been audacious and aggressive; its colors are about as subtle as the parlor of a San Juan cathouse. But its ambition is unshakable, even obsessive: to render an account of exotic travel as refracted through a Puerto Rican background and an ironic, modernist education. As his best exegete, Art Critic Carter Ratcliff, points out, "It is as a practitioner of a dramatic, restless, 'tropical' version of the sublime that Ferrer can best be understood." The work is hot salsa too, theatrical and loose. In his way, Rafi-as his buddies call...
