...some of my missions are journalistic." But news executives are more dubious. When Jackson tried to line up a TV backer for his recent Middle East trip, he was turned down by all three major networks and several other news organizations (including Warner Bros. TV), before the magazine show Inside Edition ponied up $125,000. The interview was something of a bust, partly because CBS's Dan Rather got to Saddam first and partly, according to Inside Edition producers, because the sharpest exchanges were deleted by Iraqi officials...
...about what to support. Too often we relied on administrative means rather than permitting events to develop in a creative direction. We were too concerned with what to restrain, what to forbid. I shared responsibility for that form of governing, but now I'm against it. We have to show tolerance toward change. Do these changes really affect communist ideology? In my opinion...
...Dugan's biggest sin, in Cheney's eyes, was references to Israel's contribution to the U.S. military effort. Dugan said that Israel had supplied the U.S. with its latest high-tech, superaccurate missiles and that based on Jerusalem's advice that Saddam is a "one-man show," the U.S. had devised a plan to decapitate the Iraqi leadership -- beginning with Saddam, his family, his personal guard and his mistress. Such targeting, Cheney was quick to point out, not only is political dynamite but also "is potentially a violation" of a 1981 Executive Order signed by President Ronald Reagan flatly...
...small but choice show -- only 26 pieces -- of the sculpture of the New York City artist Joel Shapiro, 48, now at the Baltimore Museum of Art, reminds one of what odd twists can come out of supposedly settled styles. Shapiro has always been vaguely connected in peoples' minds with early-1970s New York minimalism. And yet, although his work in some ways coincides with that movement, it has little to do with it. It is idiosyncratic, emotionally concentrated and mostly quite small in scale: everything minimalism...
Then Shapiro began to move toward the human figure. This note is struck in the very first object in the Baltimore show, made in 1974, which from across the room (or in reproduction) looks like one of the abstract scatter pieces done by minimalist sculptors in the '70s -- Serra or Barry Le Va -- but is in fact an image of human dismemberment. Look closer, and the bits of wood turn ! out to be an artist's mannequin that Shapiro broke up in a fit of anger -- "I pulled it apart and just threw it around the room," he says...
