...view now is a sampler of works by member artists Jackie Bayne, Tom Cole, Michael Long, Erica Moody, Steve Morell, Rebecca Tasker and Mitch Rosenberg, selected by Bernie Toale of the Bernard Toale Gallery.

My interest in the Character Counts movement and character education in America's schools didn't start with the Littleton, Colo., murders. I've been involved in the program for six years at the state and federal levels. The impetus for character education comes from the parents. It is the second most important thing that...

...this marvelously complex, wickedly comic adaptation of Honore de Balzac's schoolroom classic, she has brought them all to ruin--the philandering father (Hugh Laurie), the spoiled daughter (Kelly MacDonald), the clueless son (Toby Stephens) and, for good measure, a self-absorbed young sculptor (Aden Young) who takes her generosity for granted, not realizing that she loves him. She spares only Elisabeth Shue's actress-courtesan, partly because she too is socially unacceptable, partly because she is so useful as the seductress Bette needs to bring off her schemes...
