This is a good thing, because after spending an afternoon in the National Gallery at the Prague Castle complex looking at their 19th-century painting and sculpture—the artistic flowering behind a brief period of political independence—you would conclude that art this bad could only be done deliberately. Our guide, Natasa Sutta, regularly stopped in front of drab, dull landscapes to remark, "These are very Czech colors." I developed a theory that since invaders liked to sweep into Prague and sweep out with anything valuable, maybe the artists made paintings that defied anyone to steal them.nonotruenonotochyperlinkno2009111592714AMSundayNovNovember911/15/2009 2:27:14 PM6339387403400000002009111971555AMThursdayNovNovember711/19/2009 12:15:55 PM633942117550000000well-traveledThe Young Couple and the SeaThe Young Couple and the SeaThe young couple and the sea: sailing the Caribbean.Seth Stevenson0Now I know why rich people buy boats.Click spaceryesherehyperlinkThe Young Couple and the Sea9407351/123125/2068716/2209692/2232602/2232788/slideshow_header_Interim.gif94054http://img.slate.com/mediafalse20091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719596407220091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719596407220091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM633943137195964072false2009101653524PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:24 PM6339131132400000002009101653524PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:24 PM6339131132400000001/123125/122986/2111960/2116067/2116783/2116938/SlideshowFooter.gif94024http://img.slate.com/mediafalse20091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719612032420091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719612032420091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM633943137196120324false200541844310PMMondayAprApril164/18/2005 8:43:10 PM632494393900000000200541844310PMMondayAprApril164/18/2005 8:43:10 PM632494393900000000FFFFFF000000spaceryeshyperlinkDay 1Day 2Day 3Day 4Day 520091019112349AMMondayOctOctober1110/19/2009 3:23:49 PM6339154822900000002009102270302AMThursdayOctOctober710/22/2009 11:03:02 AM633917917820000000View of the Virgin Islands from my airplane seat.spacer600450nono1/123125/2068716/2209692/2232602/2232788/01.jpghttp://img.slate.com/mediayesStandardImage1/123125/2068716/2209692/2232602/2232788/01.jpg600450http://img.slate.com/mediafalse20091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719612032420091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719627657620091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM633943137196276576false2009101653518PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:18 PM6339131131800000002009101653518PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:18 PM6339131131800000002009101653621PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:36:21 PM6339131138100000002009101653621PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:36:21 PM633913113810000000spaceryeshyperlinkDay 1Day 2Day 3Day 4Day 520091019112349AMMondayOctOctober1110/19/2009 3:23:49 PM6339154822900000002009102270302AMThursdayOctOctober710/22/2009 11:03:02 AM633917917820000000The Rummy Cat moored in a harbor.spacer600450nono1/123125/2068716/2209692/2232602/2232788/02.jpghttp://img.slate.com/mediayesStandardImage1/123125/2068716/2209692/2232602/2232788/02.jpg600450http://img.slate.com/mediafalse20091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719627657620091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM63394313719627657620091120113519AMFridayNovNovember1111/20/2009 4:35:19 PM633943137196276576false2009101653518PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:18 PM6339131131800000002009101653518PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:35:18 PM6339131131800000002009101653737PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:37:37 PM6339131145700000002009101653737PMFridayOctOctober1710/16/2009 9:37:37 PM633913114570000000spaceryeshyperlinkDay 1Day 2Day 3Day 4Day 520091019112349AMMondayOctOctober1110/19/2009 3:23:49 PM6339154822900000002009102270302AMThursdayOctOctober710/22/2009 11:03:02 AM633917917820000000A view of the Rummy Cat from behind.

home and native land.Our last day. We decided to eat brunch at the clubhouse before driving back to the airport. And just to prove that life is a circle and everything is connected, when we walked into the clubhouse, I saw a guy who looked awfully familiar. He was wearing a T-shirt that read "Ojibwe Veteran's Powwow, Red Lake, 2005." I looked hard, and I said, "Rocky, is that you?" It was. Rocky Cook. From Red Lake Reservation, just up the road from me. He was with his wife, Lorena, also from Red Lake. They have both known my parents since the 1960s, both knew my siblings. I had gone to high school and graduated with their daughter Holly. I wasn't totally surprised: I knew that Holly had married Mark Macarro, the Pechanga chairman. I knew also that Holly was expecting a baby, so it must have come.nonotruenonotochyperlinkno2009810104805AMMondayAugAugust108/10/2009 2:48:05 PM6338549808500000002009814100104AMFridayAugAugust108/14/2009 2:01:04 PM633858408640000000well-traveledBack to the Futurists: Italy's First Avant-Garde Turns 100Back to the Futurists: Italy's First Avant-Garde Turns 100Back to the Futurists: Italy's first avant-garde turns 100.Kate Bolick0Diners, please don your blindfolds and rubber gloves."It is not by chance this work is published during a world economic crisis, which has clearly inspired a dangerous depressing panic, though its future direction remains unclear.
