...Disney Channel from a premium service to basic cable. Disney negotiators deny they had got that far. And certainly after Time Warner announced its merger with America Online on Jan. 10, Disney didn't feel it had a deal. What it had then was leverage. Figuring that TW would tread lightly lest it disturb Washington's slumbering regulators at the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, Disney asked for that one thing all negotiators hold out for when they've got the upper hand: more...
MacKinnon's stance is by far the stronger, but she and other VAWA advocates need to understand that on such matters one needs to tread carefully. Too often, supporters of civil rights bend to the cloying, putrescent of political correctness instead of relying upon substantive judicial precedent and hard facts. Even the most genuine, visceral appeal against gender violence cannot serve as the basis for the kind of far-reaching, personal consequences that exist under VAWA...
...Civil Rights Commission asking about the percentile approach; this prompted the investigation. The commission, which was created by Congress in the '50s, is often referred to as the nation's conscience on civil rights issues.

...light created by the implied light bulbs, becomes an immense tapestry of light and shadow--something more like a photographic Victor Vasarely image than a ceiling. Most remarkable of all is Gursky's Untitled, 1993, in which the vaguely modulated picture surface resolves into an expanse of well-tread, nubby carpet. Austere and precisely executed like all his other photographs, Untitled, 1993 transforms the humdrum by deeming it worthy of attention. This is astounding realism, both representational and abstract, documentary and mythical...
