...Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Smooth with little edge on the outside, functional within--how many cup holders does yours have? Even luxury cars, from Lexus to Lincoln, have become all but generic, right down to their CD players and navigation systems. Think of them as wombs with a view. Reliable? Absolutely. Efficient? You bet. Dull? Unequivocally...
...wears diapers. I'd laugh if it weren't so awful. Even with two aides on duty during the day and one at night--an astoundingly good ratio for a home with six residents--they can't watch him every minute. It took the new doctors forever, in my view, to diagnose an underactive thyroid, which caused some of his confusion. He is in what doctors tell me is the early stages of Alzheimer's. Yet both his father and his aunt lived to 96. Will he have another 12 years of living in this netherworld...
...illustrator." Norman Rockwell battled the same demon, and Andy Warhol took heat for suggesting it was O.K. to have assistants do some of the work--a tactic several populist artists now use.

On view at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minn., through Oct. 17, the 79-min. film and the morgue-cold installation of objects that accompanies it (a mirrored saddle, miniature mountains done in salt, white barbells of salt and epoxy resin, flags, flyweight sketches and various film stills) are loosely about...
...previous year, a welcome dip after higher rates during most of the 1990s. Older teens showed the deepest declines, with 26.8% reporting having used an illegal substance in the month before the survey, in contrast to 30.7% last year. While the report probably underestimates actual drug use, officials view the drop, along with relatively steady rates of drug use over the past few years, as a sign that teens are beginning to heed antidrug messages...
