...facing himself, but man facing a huge natural universe. The one real portrait in the show, happily, is magnificent. "Dr. Dexter Perkins" exhibits the photographer as more than a master of the flawless snowscape; it is both artistically and emotionally comprehensible and satisfying. Adams' irritating crispness of vision is relieved in "Woman at Screen Door" by the device of shooting through the screen and using it to soften the subject's face.

A young, enthusiastic team, with powerful hiting, speed, hustle, solid defense, intelligence and a winning attitude. In the process of building it, the Red Sox management looked like a bunch of idiots...

...disillusioned by so few about so much. The small band of revolutionaries who seized power in Russia achieved a momentous transformation of their country and of the world. Perhaps even more extraordinary are the changes in the nature of Communism itself that took place during that half-century. The vision of the great socialist Utopia collapsed first under bloody totalitarianism, was eroded further by a crude Russian imperialism, and is reeling today before the counterattack of nationalist sentiment and pragmatic economics...
