...athletic body, the perfect human body, has formed the basis of the study of art for centuries," says Rachel Kent, a curator at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art. With "Sporting Life," the MCA's Olympic offering, Kent explores how sport has seeped into the contemporary consciousness: photos of gym junkies show how identity can be constructed, while a video of a university football team poses the question, "Are stadiums museums?" Nearby, in a room of trophies gathered from everyday Sydneysiders, sport becomes art and art becomes sport...
...ignoring some of the integral humanitarian issues and instead focusing on violent, lethal means to a successful defeat of the guerillas and paramilitary groups, the U.S. demonstrates its complete neglect of human need. Even though children are tortured, 300,000 people are forced from their homes per year and there are an average of 10 political killings a day, the U.S. administration does not view the Colombian situation as a humanitarian crisis. To the U.S., the only statistic that matters is that 90 percent of cocaine in the U.S. comes from Colombia. Drugs are the name of the game; human...

Al Gashey recalls that hours into the siege, he and his comrades standing guard began chatting with the Israelis, exchanging stories and jokes. The all-too-human exchange ended when Issa came in and ordered silence, believing it would be harder for the Palestinians to kill their captives if they'd engaged them as human beings. And that's a lesson both sides learned two decades later in their tortuous peace process. They...
...seems America's kids are spending far too much time in front of a screen and too little learning how to interact with other human beings. In a statement that probably left many in the high tech industry shuddering with fear, the Alliance called for a moratorium on computers in elementary school classrooms. The group calls instead on reading and creative group play to help students develop the skills they need in and out of school...
