...just months before war broke out, Marc found it impossible to ignore the tense conditions in Germany. His painting "The Poor Country of Tyrol" is a stark contrast to his earlier depictions of equine bliss. With its chalky gray background, desolate black outlines and weak streaks of color, Marc's depiction of this disputed territory is a chilling premonition of the destruction the war was to bring. Marc's horses have not disappeared from the landscape, but they have lost all of their vitality. Their stick-like heads lowered, they serve more as symbols of the unhappy land rather than...
...James Gray: Yes, I was 26, and I just turned 31. And I have a very depressing experience on this, because I considered myself not so old. I went to a dinner party and the daughter of one of the people at the dinner party came up to me and asked me how old I was and I said "Well, how old do you think?" And she said 42.

A dark, noir-ish story set against the intrigues of New York City's subway car suppliers, The Yards is Gray's second major film, and it will only add to his reputation as an intelligent filmmaker. The cast of Gray's first major film, Little Odessa, included Vanessa...
...Harry Browne, by the way, is the Libertarian candidate for president in 2000, just as he was in 1996. Ring a bell? He's sort of a big guy, gray hair, a tanned-and-rested aging businessman's quality about him. He's participated in a third-party debate or two, and shows up on the occasional wonk-leaning talk show, usually amid great condescension. The Libertarians would love it if everybody knew Harry Browne's name. But they'd much rather you knew theirs. They've been occupying a calm, studied place on the fringe of American politics since...
