Rothko's large soft-edged squares seem to vibrate when absorbing the brilliance of his colors. The Black and the White (1956) is a purely optical experience, as the impenetrable white square and a smaller, opaque black square thrust and recede simultaneously. A static red rectangular form sits atop the white square, emphasizing the purity of its whiteness. Rothko's other work in the show, Untitled Brown and Gray (1969), has similar effects. However, he explores the density of the colors; the squares are more saturated at the connecting border than they are at the edges. This uneven concentration...
...victory over Notre Dame. I saved my favorite one for last. This game had excitement, it had great individual play, and most importantly it had a fantastic finish. The kick, as it will be remembered in Boston, became the stuff of legend. A 21-year-old struggling kicker, thrust into the often cruel and unforgiving national spotlight with the pressure of countless teammates and fans hoping and praying for victory, calmly sent the ball sailing through the uprights into the opening arms of Touchdown Jesus.

But a fusillade of machine-gun fire stopped him on the grating; hit by seven bullets in the head and neck, he crumpled to the ground...
...York City synagogue eulogizing a labor leader whose life's work represented the best of the disappearing black-Jewish civil rights coalition. Neither Jackson nor Clinton swiped at the other directly during those appearances -- Jackson's slurs came before and after his public comments -- but the thrust of their presentations could hardly have been more different. The President talked about mutual obligation and individual responsibility (two themes one can as easily hear from Jackson), but his claim that Democrats must "express the basic values of mainstream Americans" clashed with Jackson's insistence that the Administration's policies require...
