WORDS do not fail the performance artist and activist SHARON HAYES. She has stood on city sidewalks and cried out plaintive letters to an unspecified lover. Indoors she has recited transcripts of audiotapes made by Patty Hearst when she was with the Symbionese Liberation Army. For ''There's so much I want to say to you,'' a selection of her projects at the Whitney Museum of American Art, she has been commissioned to produce, in collaboration with the feminist firebrand Kate Millett, an installation featuring vintage film footage of women's liberation marches from the 1960s.

Traditionalists may prefer the 17th-century Dutch painter WILLEM VAN AELST, who specialized in pictures of dead birds, rabbits and other game animals and the gear hunters used to bag them along with fruit, flowers and sumptuous fabrics. He was much admired for the meticulous craft by which he rendered fur, glass, satin and other textures.

Nearly 20 years ago, Bankers Trust was riding high. The bank, based in New York, had become known as an expert in then-newfangled derivative securities, and the profits were flowing in. In an era where commercial banks were often viewed as stodgy and unimaginative, it stood out as a shining light. Corporate treasurers sought its insights about ways to maximize income from idle cash. Wall Street firms scrambled to compete. Then the tapes came out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jade Alston A young R&B singer from Philadelphia, Jade Alston, has made a first mixtape (''Single on a Saturday Night,'' for streaming or download at jadealston.com) that alternates between wholly new songs with ''she-mixes'': her rewritten versions of songs by men, including Lil Wayne's ''Bill Gates,'' Wiz Khalifa's ''Up'' (redone with more passion and open space as ''More Than Friends''), and J. Cole's ''In the Morning.'' Her persona is mostly familiar: romantic but self-reliant, self-empowered, girl's-girl trustworthy, with a counterpoint of self-torture. (There's the beginning of a narrative here about loneliness and looking for love in wrong places.) Her musical identity isn't fully formed yet, but she's got a voice that sounds timely right now, especially on the title track and ''Searching'': smoothed out and breathy, in Toni Braxton's general area, never strobing in your ear, sometimes even self-effacing.

CORRECTION APPENDED -Something got twisted about a minute after Seth Cotterman turned on a machine that was no longer new when he was born in 1989. -Oh, the joys of open-reel tape. The take-up reels that have to be threaded. The tape that has to be straightened after someone rewinds it wrong. The difference between 3* i.p.s. and 71/2 i.p.s. The fact that ''i.p.s.'' stands for inches per second, for the speed of a tape. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

CORRECTION APPENDED Fugazi, the single-mindedly independent post-punk band from Washington, was famous for how it operated in concert. From its first shows in 1987 until it went on indefinite hiatus 15 years later, the group kept ticket prices low -- $5 or so -- and, to the relief of some fans and the annoyance of others, often paused when things got too wild in the mosh pit. Less known was that the band fastidiously recorded almost every concert. After letting audio tapes for more than 800 shows languish in a closet for years, Fugazi has begun putting them all on its Web site, with the first batch of 130 shows going up next Thursday.

The 1966-67 recordings of ''Smile,'' the attempted masterwork that Brian Wilson couldn't finish, have finally been rescued from the bootleg netherworld, and they sound more innocent and more experimental than the ''Smile'' album Mr. Wilson reconstructed and rerecorded in 2004. ''Smile,'' as completed in 2011 from the old tapes, is nearly as lightheaded as it is lofty, merging vast musical and literary ambitions with the whims of a songwriter who loved vocal-harmony nonsense syllables like ''la-oonga-dada.'' On ''Smile,'' the ache and loneliness of the previous Beach Boys album, ''Pet Sounds,'' give way to a more Olympian perspective, freely traversing time and space. With songs like ''Heroes and Villains,'' ''Surf's Up'' and ''Wonderful,'' Mr. Wilson and the album's main lyricist, Van Dyke Parks, reflect, wistfully and cryptically, on American history, family life and nature, yet there's also sonic slapstick like ''Barnyard'' and ''Vega-Tables.''

Mercifully, there are only 400 hours of tape recordings left to be released in the appalling Oval Office maunderings of Richard Nixon, the president who secretly recorded himself in hopes of securing a grand place in history. The tapes undid him in the Watergate scandal, and their steady release across the years has confirmed Nixon, among other things, as a foul-spirited bigot. This from a politician who promised voters to ''bring us together.'' And while the tapes' historic value cannot be denied, we cannot listen without cringing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

KABUL, Afghanistan -- On the audiotape, two men are heard speaking in Dari, with the distinct accent of the western city of Herat, as they negotiate terms for rigging more than a dozen races in Afghan's parliamentary elections. One of the men, according to the country's Independent Election Commission, is Abdul Rashid Irshad, a low-level functionary in the commission's Kabul headquarters. On the tape, Mr. Irshad sounds by turns wheedling, whining, self-pitying and cynical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A large cache of audio tapes left behind at Osama bin Laden's headquarters in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2001 was released Wednesday, offering a portrait of his gradual transformation from Saudi militant to global threat and opening a window on the daily lives of men recruited for jihad. While Mr. bin Laden's evolution from opposing Saudi Arabia's ruling dynasty to running an international terrorist organization has been detailed before, said Flagg Miller, an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis, who spent five years translating the tapes, the recordings provide a more spontaneous look at Al Qaeda than what is available through the carefully choreographed messages it releases.

For this one week people who live in the New York area can be divided into two groups: those who can bear to revisit what happened in Lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001, and those who can't. If you have even a vague inkling that you might qualify for the ''can't'' group, stay away from ''102 Minutes That Changed America,'' a harrowing, painful reconstruction of that morning compiled from professional and amateur video and audiotapes. The program, appearing Thursday on History, gives a minute-by-minute account of the unfolding catastrophe by piecing together footage from numerous sources and locations. Some of the footage was shot in the very shadows of the World Trade Center; some shows the scene in Times Square or New Jersey. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In closing arguments at R. Kelly'schild pornography trial in Chicago, prosecutors replayed the sex tape at the center of the case for jurors, telling them that the man in the video is Mr. Kelly, right, an R&B star, and that he controlled the encounter with the girl, who was as young as 13, The Associated Press reported. ''We're going to see his direction,'' Shauna Boliker, an assistant state's attorney, told the jury. He is ''directing her to dance, where to stand, when to stop urinating,'' she said. Mr. Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography. His lawyers have argued that the man in the video is not him and that the reported victim, now 23, has also denied that she is in the video. The prosecution has called 22 witnesses in the monthlong trial, including several relatives of the woman they identified as the girl in the video. The defense attorney, Sam Adam Jr., told jurors that charges against Mr. Kelly came about because people were trying to extort money from him. ''That's what this is about,'' he said, ''money, money, money.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
