- Maurice, among the best of the best, shocks deeply, touching on the mortal, the insupportably sad or unjust, even on the carnal, on the primal rather than the merely primitive. He pitches children, including aged children, out of the familiar and into mystery, and then into understanding, wisdom even. He pitches children through fantasy into human adulthood, that rare, hard-won and, let's face it, tragic condition. Tony Kushner's wonderful article on his friend Maurice Sendak in today's Guardian. |

- In the NY Times, Reason Contributing Editor Michael Young limns one of the most destructive dynamics at work in the Middle East: That the [recently signed Geneva Accord] should have provoked such anger, but also interest, highlights a deeper problem in the Arab world: for all its centrality to the Arab experience during the past half-century, and for all the justifiable grievances it has aroused, the Palestinian fight for self-determination has, in many respects, rendered the Arab world impotent. Through overriding attention to the fate of their Palestinian brethren, Arabs — whether consciously or not — have sacrificed much-needed political, social and economic advancement in other domains. Read the whole thing here. |

- El vigésimo quinto aniversario de la Constitución española nos confirma una realidad: la clase política española es muy pobre en argumentos y mensajes, demuestra una notable carencia de iniciativas que de verdad interesen y afecten al bienestar de los ciudadanos e insiste en mirarse el ombligo. Los profesionales de la política mantienen discusiones eternas sobre la conveniencia o no de reformar la Constitución, cuando las preocupaciones de los españoles son otras muy diferentes, y así se van alejando cada vez más de los ciudadanos, aquellos a quienes se supone que están obligados a servir. En definitiva, este aniversario nos deja una evidencia: la gran mayoría de los políticos viven en una burbuja, rodeados por sus propios intereses y muy lejos de los españoles. |

- The Crap Art movement tries, above all, to avoid the elitism and more-artistic-than-thou attitude which has effectively kept the creation of art solely in the hands of "artists". We hope that everyone can make art. The name "crap art" does not mean to indicate that crap art is somehow worthless or foul-smelling (indeed, we believe that it is more worthwhile than most of what is commonly considered "art"). The name is meant to sound honest and down-to-earth |
