...first exhibition after the opening of its disappointing new tower galleries last summer. It is billed as a pioneering effort. This is true only in a bureaucratic sense: access to works in Russian museums has become a good deal easier since the collapse of communism. The organizers' ambition to shake the contents of every provincial museum in Mother Russia into the Guggenheim has produced more footnotes than masterpieces. Much of the best work in it will be familiar to visitors who saw "Paris-Moscow, 1900-1930" in Paris in 1979, or any of the exhibitions of the Russian avant-garde...
...overall poll numbers continue to flutter, the state-by-state map may also see some dramatic shifts in the final week -- but probably not enough to shake Clinton's grip on an electoral-vote majority. One Bush adviser conceded, "We have to pull to an inside straight. But if we win everywhere where we are now eight points back, it could actually happen."

Watt well knows the have-not side of that great divide. He grew up near Charlotte in a tin-roofed home with no electricity or running water. But he went on to law school at Yale and a career...
