...Museum of Fine Arts contains only one celebrity portrait, which is thankfully not by Mr. Ritts. Despite a somewhat flimsy and overly ambitious curatorial premise, "Face and Figure" includes several strong works on the body by Ritts' more talented contemporaries, including Yasumasa Morimura, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Lorna Simpson, Catherine Opie and Gilbert and George.

The Clinton Administration must have felt snakebit when, an hour before the scheduled State of the Union speech, the Simpson jury announced they had reached a verdict. As the White House frantically phoned networks to make sure they would not break away from covering the speech (NBC said they would use a split screen), spokesman Mike McCurry said that, despite the fuss over the Simpson verdict, the speech would go on as scheduled.
