OPTION A
★ WINNING
Eleanor Briggs, 58, museum guard at the Frick Collection in New York. She has worked the same three rooms for eleven years by choice. She has memorized every painting in those rooms at a level that allows her to notice changes in how visitors respond to them by season and by time of day. She keeps an informal record. She has never been asked about this by her supervisors. She considers herself the most informed person in the building on several narrow topics.

OPTION B
Dr. Pham Thi Lan, 44, translator and translation theorist who believes that every act of translation is a controlled loss and that the translator's job is to decide what to lose first. She has translated eleven novels from Vietnamese, two from French, and one from Swahili. She keeps a private glossary of words she has judged untranslatable and the compromise she chose in each case. She does not consider this a failure. She considers it the only honest account of what translation is.
