...first vein of this gold mine," the elder said, chuckling. "Just think about it for a minute. Say it's Bush after all. You'll have a President who may well wind up with fewer votes than the other guy. And the Republicans will have maybe five votes to spare in the House and maybe one vote to spare in the Senate. Might even be 50-50. But look what some folks in his own party want from him--maybe ease up on the environment, maybe start naming those pro-life judges...
...cost him the election," Delaware Senator Joseph Biden ranted, saying that enough of Nader's nearly 100,000 votes in Florida would have gone Gore's way to make him President. "Whatever mistakes Gore made, we wouldn't even be talking about it if Nader hadn't run... God spare me the purists."

...exhibit manages to present these monochromatic, text-heavy, conceptualist pieces in their most appealing light. Due in part to a shortage in space (the exhibit was originally held at the somewhat larger Queens Museum of Art in New York), there isn't much white wall space to spare, and, for a show full of conceptual pieces, this is a boon: each room presents a rich, appealing, visually stimulating array of sculptures, treatises, photographs and pieces of music. And the organization of the show into regions, each curated separately, effectively presents conceptualism as a global phenomenon, emerging independently throughout the world...
