In March 2000, the Spanish government sold some of the first UMTS spectrum licenses to four firms for a total of about $450 million, or roughly $12 for every Spaniard.

The picture he has in the show--a portrait of a sulky-looking, middle-aged dwarf holding a mirrored sphere the size of a soccer ball, in homage to that god of all Spanish realists, Velazquez--is a masterpiece of unsparing scrutiny and direct painting, and it brings you up with a jerk...
