...real. Slickly created and cast by pros, TRW placed seven 18-to-25-year-olds from diverse backgrounds in a house of its choosing for at least a dozen shows' worth of provocative banter. (Its first season generated buzz with a fierce battle on race between a black writer and a moody, white aspiring folksinger.) A ratings bonanza for MTV, the artificially authentic TRW convinced network execs that the genre had commercial brawn, and set the stage for the first network reality megahit, CBS' Survivor - and the endless stream of shows that followed...

In “Powerhouse,” which was originally published in 1941, she delves into the voices of a group of black musicians who are providing music for a whites-only dance, while in “Where Is the Voice Coming From?” she tries to portray the motivations of a racist murderer.

The horizontal and vertical black lines that run across Mondrian’s “Composition with Blue, Black, Yellow, and Red” clearly emphasize the geometric, flat nature of the piece. To its right, El Lissitzky’s “Proun 12E” continues in the vein of Mondrian?...
...wrong path, young lady. Tired and frustrated, Lily returned to her room determined to stick it to both her nighttime wardens and the stale daytime sentry who patrolled her school. With great gusto, Lily accented the plaid skirt she is forced to wear every day with slick black strips of duct tape, and, concluding that she had accomplished her goal with great flair and even greater bravery, she called it a night.If Lily’s story sounds familiar, even cheesy, well, it should: her narrative is so familiar that even the least jaded among us are wont to feel...
