...gamble has paid off handsomely. Moss has scored 11 touchdowns, gained 1,014 yds.--and up to this point has avoided penalties off the field. He's a top candidate for Rookie of the Year. Such vindication strikes a personal chord for Green, who grew up in a tough section of Harrisburg, Pa. "I saw a guy who had made some mistakes but was willing to fight it out," Green says of his decision to draft Moss. "Being an inner-city guy myself and having to fight for everything I've ever had, I felt that I understood him." Moss...
...decade of his life exclusively to this cause. He estimated that he wrote over 20,000 letters concerning the Congo as of 1908, and it is precisely this sense of passion which Hochschild illustrates so beautifully in his portrayal of Morel. As the story progresses into the second section of the book, "A King at Bay," it becomes as much a story of hope, perseverance and triumph as a story of death and destruction...

"The Hitman" is composed of short clipped statements concerning key points in the hitman's life. Continuing with his theme of incongruity, the hitman has donned a black mask since childhood and "wastes" his parents. Nevertheless, when the hitman marries...
...more than simple propaganda--Heartfield and Georg Grosz each have their Hitler caricatures, but the meat of Weimar thought is elsewhere. Technology is everywhere: in the medium of photography, in Bauhaus design, in the mannequins of Josef Albers and Oskar Schlemmer, in the pipes and puppets in the portraiture section. The noisy whirligig of modern technology is both embraced in dada photo-montages of basketball-headed humanoids and controlled through the neat, organized designs of Herbert Bayer's movie house and exhibition pavilion, diagrams simultaneously full of primary color and filled with stark black lines. In responding to industrialized modern...
