...contrast with Nancy Spero's deft exploration of female power and representation in the ancient era. More disappointing, however, is the glaring exclusion of some of the most talented Boston-trained photographers such as Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe and Nan Goldin (the subject of a recent Whitney Museum retrospective), who pioneered gritty work on the body. Only Annette Lemieux, who according to label text "divides her time between New York and Boston," provides a compelling work, "Pacing," a blank canvas traversed by a gash of black footprints...
Reiner is one of dozens of celebrities who have joined Hollywood's latest children's crusade. Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston and Henry Winkler have all donated their names, their time and even their money to various kids' causes. Not only did Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw co-found the Children's Action Network, which makes educational films and sponsors immunization campaigns, but Spielberg also chairs the Starbright Foundation, an innovative charity group that deploys entertainment technologies to help ease the suffering of sick children...

Last week, for example, AMP Inc., a maker of connectors for computers, announced 1,000 layoffs, and enginemaker Pratt & Whitney seemed poised to top that. More than 475,000 layoffs were announced last year, according to Challenger. This helps account for statistical crosscurrents like reports last week from the Labor Department that the economy created 262,000 new jobs in December even as one measure of new unemployment insurance claims hit a five-month high...
