...first time that someone has tried to put words to Spain's Marcha Real, a military composition that dates to the 18th century. During the Franco regime, schoolchildren learned a version with lyrics by the anti-republican poet José María Péman, but the words were never officially approved, and they quickly fell out of favor once the dictator was dead. Prime Minister José María Aznar convened a committee of experts during his second term in office (2000-2004) to devise suitably patriotic lyrics, but committee member Jon Jauristi says it couldn...
...placed fifth out of a field of 25, and at the season-opening Mid Pines Intercollegiate in September, at which the team placed fourth and set a program record for its 54-hole team score. The Crimson has faltered at other points this season, however, including a dead last 18th-place finish at The McLaughlin Tournament at Bethpage Red. This past weekend’s performance is likely to be considered another disappointment. Scores were significantly higher across the board on the tournament’s second day, as swirling winds at the ocean-side golf course made judging distance...

...turn of the 18th century, history painting was the highest purpose art could serve, and Turner would attempt those heights all his life. But his real achievement would be to make landscape the equal of history painting. More than that, he made it a kind of history painting, in which nature operates as a surrogate for the force of events. In his thunderous Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps, it's not even clear just where Turner has placed the Carthaginian general. Could he be that minuscule silhouette in the middle distance on a tiny elephant...
