...movement towards it. If the woman holds the key to the work, we may require more of her identity: does she represent a kind of social autobiography of the artist? The motion of the actor is already described: "Crossing the Rubicon" refers to Caesar's crossing of the small stream in Italy, beginning the war with Pompey. His words, "alea jacta est" or "the die is cast," have come to describe a point of no return. Lemieux's title describes the motion of a decisive step, at the beginning of some undertaking-perhaps playing on the Rubicon...
...past the souvenir shops and food court, one might reasonably hope to wait for a plane in peace. Yet in most airports, the buzz and whir continues right to the gates, with CNN's Airport Network the prime culprit. Sure, they feed our news addiction and send along the stream of stock prices (the symbols themselves some quixotic mix of advertising and investment), but they don't stop there: One "news" piece, more likely a subtle advertisement for a product or resort, is followed by the CNN logo and theme music, to keep the company and the product...
...attends a Teheran school for the blind and spends each summer with his sisters, his grandmother and his widower father.

In its own mind, the industry has already demonstrated a good faith effort to improve the quality of air travel by issuing a proposed "Passenger Bill of Rights" in December. While it remains to be seen whether any actual improvements will...
None of this makes the SEC happy. The agency has launched a drive to clean up what it calls creative accounting--offenses like excessive restructuring charges, inflated one-time "acquisition charges," and most important, manipulation of revenues to produce a predictable stream of profits or mask a bad quarter. "Think about a bottle of fine wine," says SEC chairman Arthur Levitt. "You wouldn't pop the cork on that bottle before it was ready. But some companies are doing this--recognizing revenues before a sale is complete, before the product is delivered, or at a time when the customer still...
