"When large numbers of artists independently choose to take up similar subject matter, there's obviously something in the air. The current photography show at the Kirkland Arts Center has as its central theme man's imprint on the American landscape, and our art critic Gary Faigin tells us that this review will mark the third time in six months we've looked at the topic. Gary joins us now to discuss what this group of six young photographers adds to the ongoing dialogue."

U. S. ships sand from Kuwait to Idaho

By Laura Fitzpatrick

In May, an unusual shipment made its way from Kuwait to Idaho: 6,700 tons of radioactive sand. The cargo, contaminated by traces of depleted uranium from military vehicles and munitions that caught on fire during the first Gulf War, was extracted from a U.S. army base and dumped at a hazardous waste disposal site 70 miles southeast of Boise. And this isn't the first shipment, either: in years past, the dump operator, American Ecology Corp., has ferried hazardous materials from U.S. military bases overseas to sites in Idaho, Nevada, and Texas. "As you can imagine," a company spokesman explained to the Associated Press, apparently without irony, "the host countries of those bases don't want the waste in their country."

First night: Corciano

Jonathan Long
Our first night at the villa a few of us went for a nice walk up to Corciano after dinner for some Gelato. It is about a half mile walk up a steep hill so we definitely can justify consuming a few calories of the delicious Italian treat.
