...Iraq in which international civil servants are murdered is not a success--which added to the urgency of finding out who was responsible for the Baghdad bomb. A hitherto unknown body called the Armed Vanguard of Muhammad's Second Army claimed responsibility, but it was simply impossible to know if the group even existed, let alone whether it had carried out the attack. In the days following the explosion, everyone from top Administration officials to Pentagon brass to the cottage industry of experts on terrorism to coffeehouse and bazaar gossips in Baghdad itself offered opinions on the perpetrators...
...cusp of stardom. His first album last year, a rich collection of favorite songs like Schubert's Der Wanderer and Finzi's Rollicum-Rorum, won him the Gramophone magazine award for best newcomer. Although EMI are cagey about the figures, it sold tens of thousands - extremely good for an unknown singer - persuading the label to sign him to a five-year contract.

This superb exhibit sums up the artist's lifelong research into line, color and form, and displays his often mystic face-off with fear, death and the unknown. Even the exhibit's 121 paintings and drawings - assembled from museums and private collections in Europe and the U.S. - represent only a minuscule portion of Klee's prodigious output in his final years. His meticulous studio register records 148 works for 1935, and only 25 for 1936, the first year...
