...decades, sitcoms have consisted of a few people standing on a fake-looking set barking jokes at each other. On Sports Night, the camera moves; people move. Like all sitcoms, it is shot before an audience, but with its sets and editing, it manages to stretch the genre's visual limitations. Forgoing the march-time comic pace of the typical sitcom, the show's dialogue includes a mix of throwaway lines, banter, long speeches and TV-techno talk, which provide a particular touch of ER-like authenticity...
...ZEFF, a deputy art director, has been a driving force in combining great visual art with useful charts and graphics that help convey complex information. This week he designed our cover package, the first installment of a series on corporate welfare. "The fun and the challenge for me," he says, "is to take a story that isn't inherently visual and try to bring it to life in ways that will interest people and make them want to read...

...must-have for all Heaney fans, Heaney neophytes and poetry enthusiasts in general, the anthology offers word-for-word the richest visual splendor this side of Yeats. Herein are contained works of virility, gentility, raw passion, reserved harmony and the sheer ecstasy of reveling in language, rolling around in verbiage as only Seamus Heaney can do. The anthology contains works Heaney himself chose from among his rather extensive prosaic and prosodic output. The majority of the collection is made up of poems from all nine of Heaney's collections (spanning a thirty-year literary eternity from 1966's Death...
