...emerged, all of them different, most of them hovering between the abstract and the recognizable. From time to time over the years Puryear has even edged into producing recognizable objects. As early as 1981 he made Desire, a giant wagon wheel connected by a long wooden spoke to an upright basket-weave stanchion, a thing forever in orbit around a center it can't approach. But lately he has been introducing into his work more of what he calls "things with a previous life in the world": wheels, tree trunks and even wheelbarrows that are found objects and that come...
...fancy but they win; the same goes for the somewhat overrated Mavericks. The run-and-gun Suns should be even better now that Grant Hill is joining Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamare and Shaun Marion.

Lucy's remains include portions of the arms and legs, so researchers will be able to compare her limb movements with those of, say, modern humans and chimpanzees...
...Like Alussi, deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh is seen as upright and secular. But he's a Kurd, which would make him unacceptable to the country's Arab majority. Besides, the Kurds already have the presidency (Jalal Talabani), and several important ministries...
