Doing It

Lady bugs are doing very unladylike things. This jewel-like copulation takes place in a small tree. Out on a smooth, green limb, red, glistening bodies, casual soulmates, unhurried by time; the observer loses interest before they do. Spring is mainly the lovemaking act.

Finding a Balance

A two-page spread in the current issue of New York magazine is headlined: “Where Is Our Post-Car City?” The subhead: “We need to be building right now.
