Artists and nature lovers soon gave way to behavioral psychologists and neuroscientists who employed algorithms and "clutter metrics" - the study of how the eye locates and detects objects - to create increasingly complex designs. The familiar "U.S. Woodland" pattern, which has been taken up by soldiers in Ghana, Zambia, Uganda and Liberia, replaced the "tiger stripe" look of the Vietnam War, while troops during the first Gulf War donned "chocolate chip" or "cookie dough" duds - nicknames outdone only by the "scrambled egg" scheme favored by Egyptian forces. (The mottled black and off-white flecks found on both are meant to mimic...

It writhed with pain and made faces. You?...
...Pelleas et Melisande is a mysterious tale evoking the origins of the French national sensibility. It features pastoral and water imagery which is reflected in the fluid, symmetrical movement of the dancers, as well as the effective costume and design choices. The curtain is drawn to reveal a stylized woodland scene. White curtains set off the deep emerald green background, and the cast of female dancers, in their long green tulle skirts, match their environment perfectly. The first half focuses on port de bras, with the dancers dividing into pairs and mirroring each other, again emphasizing the dreamy, aquatic nature...
