In its speeded-up repetitions and regurgitations of past styles and tastes, in its self-conscious vamping (think even of the names--faux debutante, in the case of dealer Patti Astor, and mercantile spoof over on Fifth Street at C.A.S.H.), this high/low
feeding frenzy brought subcultural hybrids (the stylized criminality of graffiti, the samplings of scratch, the posing of drag) into league with the pop cannibalizations of a Richard Prince or the artful appropriations of a Sherrie Levine on the post-Warholian mainframe.
Bankruptcy is intended to prevent a

After all, the NASDAQ is a wonderful stock exchange, but is it so terribly wonderful that corporate decision makers, with an eye now to their personal liability in balance sheet matters, would never consider alternative venues, especially without some type of corresponding tort reform to prevent the trial lawyers from engaging in a
feeding frenzy? Executives now talk of being inundated by 800-question government surveys tied to relatively routine decisions.
After a

Although the world's most effective predator, man, slaughters more than 100 million sharks each year, it was the seemingly sharp increase in shark reprisals during the summer of 2001 that set off a media

If you missed its first appearance, Survivor--the game show version of Lord of the Flies--relied on a mixture of greed and ambition to transform the cast of Gilligan's Island or Swiss Family Robinson into a gang of sharks on a

Now Sony is scrambling to produce 100,000 each week before Christmas, claiming the shortage is legit and not a marketing ploy to create a Tickle-Me-Elmo-style
