...should eventually find a method to the madness. Even in the seemingly chaotic first gallery, the installation of the exhibit encourages comparison, pairing items alternately by theme, method, and subject: two posters about AIDS take different tacks alongside one another in one room, while two interpretations of the American flag hang in another, and two very disparate cartoons share a wall. Both of the cartoons demonstrate different interpretations of the medium. Picasso’s “Dream and Lie of Franco” series, a near textless free-form fantasy from the 1930s, is a far cry from...

Although the movie is ostensibly about the World War II battle of Iwo Jima and our government's propaganda campaign around the famous flag-raising photo, Eastwood obviously meant it as a comment on the Iraq war and the cynical machinations of the Bush Administration. I hold no brief for Bush...
