Advertising invasion of privacy takes center stage
Erma Bombeck laments pervasive advertising intrusions from taped calls to waitstaff upselling and branded environments. She ridicules future ads in magazines and menus and imagines absurd sponsors at every table while warning privacy erosion will spread from phones to restaurants and beyond.

Sweat as labor and life in Palmer exhibit
Springfield artist Laurie Palmer presents a controversial show titled Sweat. The display features sweaty T shirts on wooden shelves and a perfume atomizer labeled Labor to evoke body odor and memory. Palmer, with an MA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, teaches at UCSB and says the work explores sweat as labor production and proof of life. Corinne Hallat, an observer, says she does not find it offensive or impressive and simply does not get it.
