...cause c?l?bre of this outcry involves one Ronnie Hawkins, a defendant in Long Beach, Calif., who was deemed disruptive in court by a judge last June. The judge ordered Hawkins zapped by the bailiff, and the tempest was on. But is it teacup-size? Supporters of the belts say they're the best and safest way to restrain a crazed defendant, and that they're used only for that purpose, never for punishment (that would be torture). But the watchdogs worry that when the belts are used not only in the courts but in jails by prison guards, the possibilities...
Stronger policy proposals, Gore argues, have to go with public awareness and political support. "You cannot have one without the other," he says. A presidential campaign might be a good place to stir up a tempest about climate change, but so far, it appears unlikely that Gore will do so.

According to Dickson, only the panic that...
...Titians ever gave posterity that kind of trouble, but another Venetian painter always has--Giorgione, creator of the lyrical and utterly mysterious The Tempest. Dosso's work appealed to tastes fostered by Giorgione. And Giorgione certainly influenced Dosso, particularly in his treatment of landscape. From him Dosso learned how to unify his figures and the details of landscape around them--lush, wild, tinged with ominousness--in a comprehensive atmosphere instead of going from one sharp detail to another; and the weather effects of Dosso's paintings--storms, lightning bolts, sunsets, blue distances--are Giorgionesque...
