...accompanied by a suggestively shaped silo on the left. Unlike their marine counterparts, both these women look weary; the phallic and inhospitable city thrust upon their delicate complexions. Clergue’s recent “Nu Zébré” series provides a counterpoint to this antagonism. Each “Nu Zébré” is a variation on the simple but very expressive setup of window blinds cracked open just enough to cast thin stripes of light on a female model. The blinds filter the light in long straight lines...
...Pelosi's first challenge is similar to Ford's, and may provide the same kind of disappointment: To succeed, she needs to provide a solid counterpoint to the corruption and arrogance that doomed the G.O.P. Yet the Democrats' "100-hour agenda" already entails suspending the gauzy promise of bipartisan civility that moderate Democrats ran on.

Off-campus groups will also join the protest. The speech comes in the wake of a mid-term election in which voter dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq played...
...order for their approach to music to approximate that of big-screen undertakings. In the film world, soundtracks run in both directions, from hit-packed rosters of foreground music—think “Bad Boys II”—to the painstaking counterpoint of Yo La Tengo’s score for recent indie showpiece “Old Joy.”Video games are much the same, and what many are ignoring is that they have been for years.In contrast to the blaring heavy-metal, pop punk, and rap lineups of such popular series...
