...lively argument about how Palin has been deployed and what that tells us. "I'm guessing part of the reason the Palin effect is fading so fast is that they've tried so hard to turn her into a pet - adorable, as you say, but mute," Hanna Rosin argued. "So now she's fetching but useless. And who else could we blame but her male handlers? It can't possibly be her choice. One suspects she would love to take the liberal media on, given the chance." But Dahlia Lithwick counters that this argument diminishes Palin just as much...
...1976.In an effort to keep her son off the streets, d’Amboise’s mother had him tag along to his sister’s weekly ballet classes with a teacher named Madame Seda, where he caused disruptions by whistling and squelching his foot in the rosin box.“Madame Seda saw this little boy who…would make awful sounds,” d’Amboise recalled. “She said, ‘Little boy, can you get up and do the jumps at the end of the class...
...Kronberg cello festival in Germany, like any gathering of skilled laborers, affords congregants a chance to swap notes on craft: in this case, new strings and rosin, drills for thumb position, double stops and staccato at the frog. But this year's festival, which ran Oct. 3-7, was different.

In this case, he's not referring to the legendary art patroness Peggy Guggenheim, whose body lies buried next to those of her beloved Lhasa Apsos-including Cappuccino, Peacock and Sir Herbert-in the garden of her Venice palazzetto. Instead, on this warm June afternoon, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection registrar's charge is Alberto Giacometti's 1.5-m bronze Standing Woman, 1947, whose elegantly elongated frame appears like an apparition a few meters from Guggenheim's grave, where it usually guards the benefactress' Byzantine garden seat...
...this reason alone, one can forgive registrar Rosin his nervousness. While Uecker's motorized Tactile Rotating Structure, 1961, looks as if it could travel to Melbourne under its own steam, each of the works had to be wrapped in waterproof tar paper, thermally insulating polystyrene and shock-absorbent polyethylene before being packed in its own custom-built fireproof pine case. In Venice, the five boxes were lifted by crane onto a barge in front of the museum and borne to the port of Tronchetto, from where they were trucked to Frankfurt to join a cargo flight with about 50 crates...
