...audience questioning its own assumptions about her and her art last night at the Carpenter Center, where she spoke with Bass Professor of English Louis Menand.First, there was her appearance. Casually dressed in brown corduroy pants, black glasses, and a loose-fitting sweater, Lin answered with a soft-spoken demeanor that belied an intensely serious artistic sensibility as she guided the audience through a rigorous examination of her recent work.Best-known for designing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial while a senior at Yale, Lin’s landscape and site-specific works create elegant, provocative structures out of unconventional materials...

Have No Fear's Wojtyla (Thomas Kretschmann) is starchy and principled, more a paragon than a person. CBS's mini-series presents a soft-focus, avuncular Wojtyla, dividing the role in two: the young priest (Cary Elwes) is a jocular guy who talks sex (within marriage, don't worry) with his young parishioners; the Pontiff (Jon Voight) is a self-deprecating wit whose career is unified by a belief in the dignity of life...
