...small, hot room in Caloocan city, one of Manila's shoddy suburbs, a 21-year-old man-child perches on a chair and turns the fan up to high. Yellow paint peels from the walls. There is no running water. The bed is a dirty mattress on a steel frame. But enthroned on a makeshift table sits a workstation worthy of a cash-rich start-up. The man leans toward his crisp, new 19-inch monitor and gets down to business. He surfs to the archive of an online florist and peruses someone's recent order for roses, complete with...
...With each change, I think you lessen the opportunity for us to keep Democrats together and in support of a bill that they can no longer identify as McCain-Feingold," Daschle warned early in the debate. Three days later he added, "There are some bright warning signs, some blinking yellow lights about the direction that we are going...
...infinitely fearful--human mind can create, there is a word that has been coined to describe it. There's nephophobia, or fear of clouds, and coulrophobia, the fear of clowns.

She slams into leering young men and scratches a police car before picking up an elderly woman at a lewdly named old-folks' home. Then Madonna and gal pal switch to a red Trans...
...large figure-compositions, the sense of incompleteness and off-kilter scale, that the critics of his day hated and later modernists were inspired by. Still Life with Brioche, 1880, is a knockout of a picture, with that pink rose placed on, or perhaps stuck in, the rich yellow interior of the brioche. It's a vision of unshadowed joy in the full life of the senses--taste, smell and sight together. The rest is peculiar fragments: the cropped sides of two green pears, the glimpse of a truncated painting along the top edge and a black-and-white form that...
