...story of Moses says as much about our dreams and fears as it does about Scripture. Eugene Rivers, a Pentecostal minister in Boston's poor Dorchester neighborhood, has depicted Moses as an African revolutionary (Egypt is in Africa, after all) to teach gang members about throwing off the yoke of slavery to drugs. Norman Cohen, provost of New York City's Hebrew Union College, used the prophet's speech defect to come to terms with his own temporary paralysis. Moses is a universal symbol of liberation, law and leadership, sculpted by Michelangelo, painted by Rembrandt, eulogized by Elie Wiesel...
Inglis, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, has tried to yoke his opponent to Bill Clinton, who even Hollings acknowledges is "as popular as AIDS in South Carolina."

"I wonder if you are one of the 34 votes he is counting on to cling to power," he asks Hollings.

Steven Pressman, author of a scathing 1993 biography of Erhard, calls that slick corporate maneuvering: "They've gotten out of the yoke of Werner because he became their worst p.r. man. But it's one of the greatest success stories in mass marketing...
...black and white. Kera Walker's recent installation in the Carpenter Center for the Arts appears in conjunction with Harvard's Change the Joke and Slip the Yoke: A Series of Conversations on the Use of Black Stereotypes in Contemporary Visual Practice." Walker's exhibit consists of silhouttes "Presenting Negro Scenes" that span the walls of the lobby...
