White composed all of the paintings in this show using a layering method of paint and Band-Aids. To create the pieces in this exhibit, she first painted a layer of color and placed differently shaped Band-Aids over the paper. Then she painted over that layer with another color and again placed more Band-Aids in a design on the paper. When she was done applying all of the colors in the piece, she removed the Band-Aids, revealing a multi-colored drawing. Although there are no Band-Aids on any finished drawings, White?...
...show itself is imaginative and creative, unlike the idea behind it. The suburbs, like all areas in America, clearly have their faults, but White’s method of illuminating these faults seems counter-productive. She proves, through her work, that suburban America in fact does not stifle creativity. With nothing but paper, paint and a box of Band-Aids, White-—a suburbanite herself—has created fascinating works...
...attempt to convince Ruth to have a quickie before hosting a party. Though she initially agrees, the arrival of guests (as indicated by the ringing of a doorbell) convinces her that fate has spoken against them. In desperation, Jack decides to use the old distract-and-attack method; he points somewhere and shouts, “Look!” The ploy works, but since Jack is on the other side of the bed from Ruth, he is forced to execute a flying dive in an attempt to grasp her in his arms. The attempt fails and he lands...

Applicants were told what their "expected family contribution" would be. But in 1990 the U.S. Justice Department charged these colleges with price fixing. The case was settled in 1993 when the colleges agreed to stop swapping financial information about their applicants. Still, they insisted they would strive to confine aid to those who were in need...
...sexes tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Except, she says, "I didn't know a thing about tennis." (She did, however, have access to King, whom she'd known through mutual friends for years. And for insurance, she took tennis lessons. "I consider myself a Method writer-director," she jokes.) But When Billie Beat Bobby (ABC, April 16, 9 p.m. E.T.) isn't really a tennis movie, just as the King-Riggs face-off wasn't memorable as tennis (she creamed him, in straight sets). When more than 40 million watched the lobbin' libber play the fast...
