...organizing such details into pictures, a number of the photographers have exploited their medium's access to ambiguity, the unguided camera's tendency to describe things without explaining them. (The most bedeviling example features a car's empty interior, a glimmer of light edging the trim beneath the window, through which we see a tangle of foliage and a woman whose face is cut off by the car top, and whose braceletted hands are removing her underpants.) And nearly all the pictures display a reluctance (shared by most contemporary painters) to deal directly with, or even to acknowledge, the complexities...

Under the law, which would probably pass if voters went to the polls today, the city would have to roll back taxes, cutting revenues...
...House Budget Committee already has voted to trim planned spending by $16.5 billion, pushed hard by Chairman Robert Giaimo of Connecticut, who announced last week that he will retire from the House after eleven terms. Floor debate on the committee's resolution, however, which had been scheduled to begin last week, was put off until after Easter. Giaimo said darkly that "there are forces at work trying to delay the vote. They want labor and the special-interest groups to work the members over during the Easter recess...
