...than he did to the 19th century that rediscovered him. Manet, who admired his portraits, still pronounced him "bizarre" overall. But now, after the fractured space of Cezanne, the shivering stridencies of Klimt and Kokoschka, the old Greek is not as much of a challenge anymore. There are even trace elements of his tussling space in the tangled drippings of Jackson Pollock. What El Greco remains is a jolt to the senses. In the superabundance of his strange devices, there are still things that shock. In the El Greco show that opens this week at the Metropolitan Museum...

Indeed, Microsoft itself will in some nations - including the U.S., Japan and Canada - require such subscriptions of between $2 and $10 per month to gain access to MSN chat rooms. So why not extend the same secure service elsewhere? "There is a fundamental difference...
...destroy it, despite carpet bombing and the use of Agent Orange. Since the war ended, however, the trail has been largely reclaimed by jungle and myth; only a few, isolated fragments are accessible. Christopher Hunt's 1996 book Sparring with Charlie documented his trying, and mostly failing, to trace it. Indeed, we are among the first foreigners to travel any significant length of the trail...
