The heart of the collection is its sculpture, which engages viewers with its direct appeal to emotion whether contemplating the polished finish of Anish Kapoor's reflective aluminum and lacquer disc or the abstract expressionism of Anselm Keifer's headless, Gnostic goddess; the hyperrealism of John de Andrea's pensive, reclining nude or the assertive presence of Louise Bourgeois's oversized spider; the sly pop references of Andy Warhol's iconic Brillo box dress or the neo-pop exuberance ironically updated in Gary Hume's bronze homage to American cheerleading; the deliberately chilling juxtaposition of Mona Hatoum's razor-edged swing set or Jim Dine's playful, bronze double hearts; Donald Judds austere minimalist sensibility in his aluminum and Plexiglas boxes or the incongruity of eleme...

WHY creativity and emotion have the edge over reason in attracting cost- conscious buyers in a recession.
HUMANS ARE EMOTIONAL beings. And from time immemorial, the best advertisements are the ones that appeal most to the emotions. Emotion sells.

Please allow me to introduce Mackenzie Woolf (Readers' Forum, Dec. 28) to the philosopher Immanuel Kant. He said our every action should be capable of becoming a universal rule of action for all men. Universal application of the gay relationships she propounds would mean an end to propagation and an end to the species.
Ms. Woolf needs to apply some critical thinking to this issue, not simply an appeal to emotion.

In the Page One Sunday story "Hispanic group aims to stop 'wave of hate,' " Cecilia Munoz, vice president of the National Council of La Raza, is quoted as saying about the rejection of the amnesty bill: "I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate.
Supporters of blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, through an appeal to emotion, always attribute malice aforethought to opponents of amnesty. Any American who wants to enforce the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States - and stop paying the educational, medical and social-welfare-benefit costs of those not authorized to be in the United States - regardless of race is called a bigot or xenophobe or said to be full of hate. Any org...

Having paid close attention to world events the past few years, I didn't learn much from the Rocky Anderson-Sean Hannity showdown, but it must be admitted that listeners were presented with two very distinct points of view on the Iraq debacle and President Bush's role in it. The contrast was sharp and clear. This alone made it better than anything I have read in our newspapers or heard on local TV news on these topics.
Rocky presented a carefully constructed argument, using assiduous documentation of fact to support a conclusion -- the correct method for trying to ascertain truth on complex matters. By contrast, Hannity's presentation lacked a single respectable argument, relying solely on invidious comparison, appeal to emotion (especially fear), straw men and ad hominem attacks, recog...

While engaging in learning about rules of evidence, rules of procedure and case law, undergraduate mock trial students must also learn how to effectively communicate their evidence to the fact-finder. In mock trial, as in real courtroom trials in the United States legal system, communication skills and the ability to persuade are essential. This work examines how the art of rhetoric relates to mock trial debate. By applying Aristotle's proofs of logos, pathos and ethos, this article unveils how management of logic, emotional appeal and speaker credibility weigh heavily on the persuasion process in mock trial. It illustrates how poignant Aristotle's proofs are in contemporary undergraduate competition.

The album's strongest tracks lie squarely in the middle of the mix. "Sister, Sister," "Cherry Tree" and "Floodplain" are the spiritually feral songs of the record; they are fiery, soulful and beautifully composed songs, filled with color and curiosity. Most of all, Floodplain allows [Sean Healen Band] to make mistakes, but the album remains steadfast by swinging for far off fences. The album is an ambitious effort and a balancing act of raw emotion with broad audience-appeal that signals bigger, perhaps more exciting, things to come.
Kiss My" reveals a much larger issue in Floodplain as it does with the music industry as a whole. The concept of the "album" has evolved into the concept of the "playlist." Music audiences are now instrumental in shaping the identity of their favorite arti...

SECAUCUS, N.J. - He didn't have a lucky charm and delivered little-to-no emotion.
That was Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins on Tuesday night during the NBA's draft lottery telecast. After the draft order was decided, with the Griz shockingly moving up to grab the No. 2 pick, Hollins had plenty to be excited about.
