...longer pay for some dental treatment or cover Moser's salary if she falls sick and is off work more than six weeks. That means she'll have to buy her own insurance - taking another slice out of her €1,600 monthly take-home pay. "It's a slow, continual slide," she shrugs. Moser lives frugally, in a house she bought with her sisters seven years ago. Single, she tries not to spend more than €400 per month on food, household and personal expenses, including clothes, so she can pay off the mortgage and have a nest...
...video game Donkey Kong serves as a useful guide. As with that game, your eye will be pulled along vertiginous corridors until a visual "hook" pulls you into the next space. Then descend into the dark depths of acmi, where the other artists dwell. Here Marcus Lyall's video Slow Service, 2003, is essential viewing. Filmed at 1,000 frames a second then played back in excruciating slow motion, a succession of sitters have food thrown in their face - custard, pasta, tomato sauce - offering but a hand or squint in self-defence.

After all, as I played peek-a-boo with the giggling baby girl on the seat in front of me en route from New York, I realized there are two acts that can transcend language and cultural gaps: laughter and frantic hand gestures indicating missing french fries...
...Bush. He came to Istanbul with virtually no hope of securing more troops to help pacify the Iraqi terror movement-something the U.S. desperately needs. What he has instead is a commitment from NATO to help train Iraqis forces. That's not a bad thing but training is slow and even the terms of the training-will it be done in Iraq or in Europe? who will do what?-remains to be seen. What's crystal clear is that this is still an American fight and no communiqu?s issued here to the thousands of media-who are themselves inside...
