...Long Road to Maztlan,” Julien uses similar elements—such as color, space and time—to tell a modern cowboy tale. Using a three-screen projection rather than two, Julien explores the contradictory elements of cowboys; their masculinity and eroticism, their freedom to roam yet restrained emotions and their frontier mentality. Cowboys dance randomly from screen to screen, then simply stare, then start swimming nude, then dance again—this cycle continues. The cyclical features of both the cowboys and their backdrop distort the perceptions of freedom and wild exploration that are naturally...
Fear--the natural enemy of play. The fear that a French lesson missed is a Yale acceptance letter lost. The fear that sending junior outside to roam will end in reporting him missing to the police. Do we now have to add to these fears--some of them neurotic, others real--the fear that "play deprivation" will stunt kids' spirits, shrink their brains and even land them in jail? Such protective obsessing seems to be the problem, and doing more of it offers no solution. Parents should probably just tell kids that fooling around is bad for them, open...
...also. Call it thrifty chic. Penny pinching is back in vogue, even among the rich. Jackie O. shops at the Gap. Christie Brinkley wears plain white men's T shirts.

At Deja Vu, a Palm Beach boutique that sells used designer clothes, women who once sent their maids and drivers to the back door...
...Huskies trailed the whole game, but took advantage of a porous Harvard defense that would let it roam free in the slot unmarked and go fishing for pucks in front of senior goalie Oli Jonas at will. Aside from the dramatic final goal, almost all of Northeastern's offense came in discrete, two-goal clusters. The Huskies scored a pair 30 seconds apart in the first, 47 seconds apart in the second and the score went from 7-5 to 7-7 on a duet separated by just 27 ticks in the third...
...Midnight Club," the better of the two versions, provides the first title in the urban-driving genre for the PS2. Unlike set-course driving games, which put you through a series of maps, "Midnight Club" and its ilk allow you to roam freely in much fewer, but larger, maps. Reaching a goal in some part of the city - however you choose - without destroying your car or running out of time becomes the object of the game. You must "avoid" traffic and pedestrians and police...
