...third person yet to be named. Powell and Rice would be serving in government posts more important than those held by any other African American--even in the Administration of a certain Democrat who bragged that he wanted his Cabinet to "look like America." That's a huge irony, considering that 92% of blacks slapped aside Bush's claim to be a different kind of Republican and voted against him. Even more of them would have done so if they hadn't run into alleged harassment at polling places--obstacles that the N.A.A.C.P. charged last week were the result...
...Welch's shoes filled--if that's possible--these executives won't stay at GE much longer, and the pay packages that land them will probably dwarf what will initially be given to Immelt. A signing bonus in the tens of millions of dollars? Instant vesting in stock plans? Huge guaranteed annual bonuses? A big chunk of the company? Such goodies are widely available to top-flight managers in today's mobile CEO sweepstakes...
...leave behind. (Smart move. Lucent's stock collapsed this year, contributing to CEO Rich McGinn's recent unemployment.) Alex Mandl got $20 million up front and 18% of the company when he left the No. 2 post at AT&T to run the telecom start-up Teligent. Others landing huge pay deals include Jamie Dimon at Bank One, Joseph Nacchio at Qwest and C. Michael Armstrong...

He flattens defenders, stiff-arms tacklers and dwarfs his own offensive linemen in the huddle. He makes kickers look like hors d'oeuvres. Some historical perspective? Culpepper has the exact physical measurements of Deacon Jones, the Hall of Fame defensive lineman who terrorized puny quarterbacks with his speed and size. Culpepper could settle that score...
...California art, led off more than 20 years ago by Peter Plagens' Sunshine Muse. But until now no institution has taken on the daunting task of mounting an exhibition that surveys the visual culture of California in relation to a century's worth of social changes in that huge, dynamic and almost crazily heterodox state. That is what the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has tried to do in a mammoth show that opened last month: "Made in California: Art, Image and Identity, 1900-2000." It involves some 800 works in just about every imaginable medium, set forth...
