...southern Swedish park's 40-plus installations - among them Maya Lin's large 11 Minute Line, a grass-covered earthen wall favored by grazing cows. On her last visit, Cartiere spotted a family picnicking in one of the works. And why not: Melissa Martin's Dining Room features a wooden table - never mind the tree growing through it - surrounded by chairs, empty window frames and beautiful forest.

...Saporito: The guy was wooden, but he kept the ball in play, so to speak. He addressed all his constituencies - the public, the players, the press and of course his family. I got a kick out of his warning the press - in particular the paparazzi - to stay away from his wife and kids. The tabloid press has absolutely no rules; they could care less about his feelings or his family. I can't wait for him to go after some photog with a 9-iron.
