Last summer Square Depression was finally built, three decades after [Bruce Nauman] was asked to create a piece. Stunningly simple, the" inverted 25 by 25-meter pyramid set into the ground is a huge success. One is indeed "depressed" when standing in the center of the work, more than 7 feet below ground level, but elated as well, for the sculpture is also beautiful from within. Nauman described his work as being "about the confrontation of private experience with public exposure." Munster should be grateful that the artist, unbothered by a 30-year delay, returned to Munster to participate in its creation. The city and the public now reap the rewards of its long gestation. The Grand Tour events opened in June, beginning with the annual "Art 38 Basel" held in the Swiss city of Basel (June...

The international opera world has been anxiously awaiting [Natalie Dessay]'s account of this challenging role. It's well-known to be one of the repertory's most feared tests of the soprano voice. As Violetta's character moves from the gay courtesan of act one to the haunted, dying figure of the finale; [Giuseppe Verdi]'s vocal demands deepen from lighthearted coloratura soprano to full-throated lyric soprano to, for some singers, a weightier spinto soprano in the last act. A butterfly aware it has only 24 hours to live - that's how Dessay has described Violetta. Therein lies the horror of Germont's demand that she abandon her lover, his son Alfredo, for the sake of his daughter's honor. Dessay totally commands the role here with her lightvoiced, but supremely touching, part in the great...

CHERI *** 1/2 They don't make women, sexy but regal, like Michelle Pfeiffer much anymore. Here, as Madame Léa de Lonval, a courtesan aging out of an industry and an epoch. Pfeiffer is enmeshed in another dangerous liaison, this one with the child of a once fellow, now former, courtesan named Madame Peloux (Kathy Bates). Peloux's son. Chéri (Rupert Friend), is spoiled, unformed, and 30-plus years Léa's junior. Léa takes him on initially as a twilight-years lark, but it isn't until their forced separation that the true depths of Chéri and Lea's feelings for each other emerge. Rated R. At Osio Cinemas.

I couldn't decide: Was I waiting for Cary Grant, the cat burglar in "To Catch a Thief," to slip into my elegant room at the Carlton in Cannes, or had I stepped into a Matisse painting of a window overlooking the Mediterranean, with small white sails dotting the lush blue sea? Not a bad question to ponder. The InterContinental Carlton Cannes is one of the grandes dames of the French Riviera. It was built between 1909 and 1913 by architect Charles Dalmas with two distinctive domes on the front corners of the roof designed to resemble the breasts of Carolina Otero, a famous Spanish-born dancer, actress and courtesan.

Claude Debussy's songs, while not huge in number, are nevertheless among the most significant and musically stunning additions to the French art song repertoire from the turn of the last century. Among this collection is the "Trois Chansons des Bilitis." Published in 1897, the songs are based on three poems from Pierre Louys' book of prose "Chansons des Bilitis." Louys claimed these were translations of poetry by the ancient Greek courtesan Bilitis, a contemporary of Sappho. In truth, however, these were poems that Louys himself had written. But they were so cleverly and convincingly constructed that even scholars of the time believed them to be genuine.

Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...
