...plan combines most existing federal funds for professional development and class-size reduction into a flexible new fund for teacher training and recruitment, and he adds $400 million a year in new money. Bush would allow states to spend the funds as they see fit - so long as they establish teacher-accountability systems. This is similar to what Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. But then, says Emily Feistritzer, president of the Center for Education Information, "the money disappeared." Under Bush's plan, she says, "I worry that the money won't go where it's intended to once...

Shelly Bancroft, who curated the show, says that she wanted "to do a show that's not ironic about beauty...to establish some criteria that would be objective and also allow subjectivity to come into play." Perhaps the universal character is to be found in the variable connections most of the pieces make with naturalism. Views out of windows onto snow-laden trees, seagulls in blue skies and golden-brown seascapes offer images that arrest the eye, full of kinesthetic suggestion and opportunity for sensation...
