...punitive and cruel, especially when the jobs are dead-end and low wage. At the Fairfax County, Virginia, welfare office, the few positions listed on the bulletin board last week ranged from pet grooming to newspaper delivery (report at 4 a.m., not a great time to get a baby sitter) to child care, all at minimum wage. Only when you're looking after other people's children--and leaving your infant in a group day-care center--does mothering qualify as work...
Ronnie's foil is Kilmartin's baby sitter, Rosie (Katheryn Erbe). It would be easy to choke on this character's banal perfection, but Erbe somehow manages to flesh out a real person.

"Now the politicians are following the sheep: Read the polls! They'll tell you where to go to pasture!" Cuomo, who was defeated last...
...Portrait of a Girl, which is the only complete frontal portrait in the show, has eyes covered with aquamarine paint, making her eyeslits seem like precious stones. As girlish as she looks, she seems on the verge of womanhood. Picasso's Woman in a Turkish Costume dissects the sitter and renders her face with the same ostentation as her costume...
