...step off the elevator into the Barbara Krakow Gallery, a bright light fills the room. But while it is impossible not notice the green glow that illuminates the current exhibit, New Light Works by Cameron Shaw, it takes a while to realize that this is actually one of the pieces in the show. In fact, it makes up one fifth of the works in the exhibit right now.

But for sheer pinwheeling, exclamation-pointed opinion, there is no beating the regular folk who have popped up all over the Internet. Everywhere in cyberspace there are Web pages where do-it-yourself critics hold forth about movies, books, music and restaurants, to say nothing of airlines, power tools, and disposable diapers. What you discover at these sites is generally heartfelt and sometimes well informed and well written. Or breathless, obvious and ungrammatical--that...
