• Carnegie Director Lynn Zelevansky Works On Her Balancing Act

Earlier this month, after the Andy Warhol Museum, the Mattress Factory and Wood Street Galleries all announced they would showcase the controversial "Fire in My Belly" video by artist David Wojnarowicz (1954-92), Carnegie Museum of Art director Lynn Zelevansky defended the decision in her "Inside the Museum" series of informal monthly e-messages. Critics of the video not only ignore the desperate circumstances to which Wojnarowicz was responding, but they also deny the long tradition of images of the crucified Christ in extremis, from European Renaissance art to works found in rural Mexican churches," she wrote at web.cmoa.org/director regarding the artist who died of AIDS,

• ; Dysfunction Reigns in U.S. Policies at Home and Abroad

The nail-biting cliffhanger produced something that didn't pass mental math. To raise America's $14.3 trillion federal debt ceiling hours ahead of Tuesday's deadline by $2.4 trillion in two stages while committing to equal spending cuts over 10 years - still with me? - was more fool's bargain than bargain basement. The complete collapse of the U.S. debt market, in which the unthinkable - default and massive layoffs - would occur, was averted in extremis. Cutting back federal spending by $1 trillion upfront - $3 trillion short of what Standard & Poor's said was needed - wasn't a done deal.

• Ciudad Juárez, Bajo Las Armas

El secretario de Gobernación, Fernando Gómez Mont, asegura que la violencia en la zona se debe a una lucha por ganar la plaza estratégica para el paso de droga hacia Estados Unidos entre la organización de Sinaloa -dirigida por el prófugo Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán- y el cártel de Juárez. El envío de tropas es una medida in extremis, es lo último que se hace después de que falló todo", argumenta José Fernández Santillán, director del Centro de Investigación en Humanidades del Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. "Sin embargo, la medida no puede ser efectiva si no se complementa con inteligencia: capturar a los capos que se sabe en dónde viven y dónde están y sin embargo no caen; como tampoco se persigue a los políticos y policías que los están encubriendo", señal...

• Kerry & Co. Blindly Rush to Aristide's Rescue

Does [John Kerry] know that the president of the Electoral Council in 2000 had to flee Haiti in extremis, because then-President Rene Préval and his mentor, [Jean-Bertrand Aristide], threatened to kill him? It was the [Clinton] administration that sent a helicopter to pluck Leon Manus, the venerable lawyer, out of Haiti. (Manus now lives in exile in New Hampshire. Kerry should avail himself of the presence of such an eminent exile next door to his state for a full briefing on the "Aristide democracy" that he is defending with such vigor.) Moreover, [Charles Rangel] defended Aristide, who is accused of corruption. The people of Haiti, Rangel said, "are not suffering because of [Aristide's] corruption, but because of the fund cutoff' by the international community. How can Aristide's ...
