...skulls and traceries of rose stems, cast in bronze, have a wild unsettled air, a mix of couture sophistication and peasant witchcraft, that is quite striking; one only wishes that when he carves a figure in stone, it came out looking more like sculpture and less like a shop-window dummy. Also not to be missed is a hypnotic and mysterious installation by the Roman artist Maurizio Mocchetti, in which an irregular circle of red laser light contracts and expands in the darkness on a bed of red oxide...
...craft to re-enter the earth's atmosphere at 80,000 m.p.h., in contrast to the returning Apollo's 25,000 m.p.h. "We're not sure we know how to build the appropriate heat shields," says Oberg.

...after the New York primary unnerving. "Suddenly, every time you turned around, there was Holbrooke -- it was like a Peter Sellers movie," jokes one Dukakis supporter. Giddily he pursued his comic notion. "He'd be looking in from the door. Look again, and his head is poking through the window. The staff would order drinks, and he'd be the waiter bringing in the tray of martinis." Roger Altman, investment banker and Dukakis fund raiser, who understands the etiquette of job placement, warns, "Those who are qualified for the senior positions don't have to ask for them...
