The argument that setting aside Puerto Rico's constitutional guarantee to their general obligation bondholders will not spill over to impact the broader municipal bond market — one that the U.S. Treasury has enthusiastically propounded — seems to be predicated solely on the notion that a territory is unlike a state and that whatever legislation Congress passes will be sui generis, with no relevance to the rest of the country.
Just as the cavernous chartreuse-toned theater of the Prada Foundation, where the floor was covered in a sui generis plastic grid of global coordinates denoting everyone's place in the world (or at least the plastic blown-up Verner Panton squares on which everyone sat), made a fitting setting for Miuccia Prada's meditation on the conservatism that has been rearing its helmet-coiffed head.
The characters in "Fairview," Jackie Sibblies Drury's outstanding, frustrating, hilarious, and sui generis new play (directed with dynamism by Sarah Benson, at the Soho Rep), perform, for the most part, behind a one-way mirror, but it takes us a little while to understand that, and it takes until the end of the nearly two-hour, intermissionless spectacle for us to find out who has been under surveillance the whole time.
It's a Who's Who of Abstract Expressionism (Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still); a reminder that the New York School painters were not sui generis but, rather, part of an international wave (works from Argentina, Hungary, and Japan are on view); and a tracer of the movement's influence, from post-Ab Ex works by Cy Twombly and Helen Frankenthaler, made in the sixties, to a monumental canvas by Mark Bradford, completed in 2016.
What is unusual, and is perhaps sui generis, is for a president to embrace (or at least fail to unequivocally denounce) views, such as neo-Nazism, that have been overwhelmingly and vehemently rejected by the vast majority of Americans — and to do so on such a broad range of issues, from climate change (which more than three-quarters of American public believe is real, but which the Trump administration questions the existence of) to the need for Trump's border wall.
Credit...CreditChris Buck for The New York Times On the fifth episode of Caveh Zahedi's "The Show About the Show" — a metadocumentary series that is sort of like if "Scenes From a Marriage" were crossed with "Synecdoche, New York" and then filtered through reality TV and the cheerful low-budget atmosphere of public-access cable but also a completely sui generis work of art that is nothing like any of those things and doubles as a deranged social experiment — Zahedi's wife, Amanda Field, pleads with him to leave something on the cutting-room floor.
