MANDELA: I found Mr. De Klerk very positive, very bright, very confident of himself, and ready to accommodate the views I expressed. The National Party had announced a ((reform)) program in which they talked about ''group rights.'' I said to him, ''Look, this...

Octogenarian Little Joe Cook is a national blues legend, and has been playing at the Cantab with backing band the Thrillers every weekend for 25 of his 83 years. Tuesday night...
...more eccentric forms like painting on canvasses shaped like everyday objects and drawing on stickers rather than in a sketchbook. Nor is Frey what he calls “just a painter of ideas”—as a young artist skilled in many different areas, his main goal is simply to try out different techniques and define his artistic identity. His website, www.karlfrey.net, provides an interesting visual insight into his varied work, as well as exhaustive work statements that attempt to make as much sense of visual art as possible.
