Shriver's Not behind Palin

FROM SFGATE.org (SF Chronicle)

And, Shriver said, Palin has clearly evoked passions on both sides.

"I've been at dinner tables, and people start screaming about Sarah Palin ... and they don't scream that way about Barack (Obama) and John McCain, and I find that very interesting," she said.

"Let me just say the debate swirling around her, and around women in general, has been heated, confusing, conflicted, interesting, emotional. It has been, in many ways, a thought-provoking year for women of all ages and all choices."

Shriver, a Democrat, has endorsed her party's presidential candidate, Obama; her husband, a Republican, has endorsed McCain.

She said she remains impressed with Obama, particularly "his temperament."

"I found him from the beginning to be a man of calmness, very collected, introspective and really steady temperament ... and I think it's important in life and particularly important in a leader," said Shriver, who is the niece of Sen. Edward Kennedy and of the late President John F. Kennedy.

Naomie Kremer's Ghosts

As part of the Magnes WINDOWS series , the latest installation is by Israeli-born, Berkeley-living artist Naomie Kremer . The WINDOWS series was launched to use the Magnes new facility to positive effect, namely as public art to be viewed at night: to bring more cultural content to downtown Berkeley and in the evenings when the street traffic is less -- to light up the night. Kremer's opening was this evening and we had a really nice turn out, including important local patrons of the arts, collectors etc. Here pictured are Jeff and Jane Green , Penny Cooper (one of the Bay Area's finest collections, focused primarily on women artists with her wife Rena Rosenwasser ). Here Naomie introduces her video piece on Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok .

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews
