...sphere aglow on a pale green ground, surrounded by feathery plants and fairy-tale creatures that seem to grow out from all four sides of the frame. Steamboat and Sailboats, Toward Evening and the abstract Polyphony are exercises in Klee's dreamlike version of pointillism, with light and shadow played out in multicolored dots. But 1933 brings an abrupt, definitive change in subject matter and style. The pale, thickly painted watercolor-and- plaster Head of a Martyr fills its small frame with downcast eyes and a battered, gap-toothed mouth. The circular face of Marked Man (1935), painted in scratchy...
...five-story building, the team staked out an intersection dubbed "RPG alley," the site of numerous rocket-propelled-grenade attacks on U.S. convoys. Because sniper teams are clandestine units, photographs of the troops were shot using a soldier's night optical device, providing a glimpse inside America's shadow...

More than 70 soldiers have died in the past three months. At this rate it will not be long before more people will have perished since the end of combat than during it. The Iraqi army may have melted away in battle, but its shadow legions of Saddam loyalists and foreign jihadists seem to be growing more organized and more lethal: twice as many U.S. soldiers died in June as in May, and July's rate so far is worse. Soldiers have died in accidents--some caused, no doubt, by the stresses of life under fire and the fear...
