...board's tactics are reminiscent of the Stalinist purges of the 1930s. Their actions have not only splintered Republicans on campus, but have gone a long way toward destroying the club's image as one that encourages debate on campus. For a group that prides itself on being religious and moral, their recent behavior has been deplorable. I can only hope that they see the light next year.

...writing (The Architecture of the City, published in Italy in 1966, is a woolly but right-minded and seminal inquiry into the nature of urban spaces) and from sketchy, evocative drawings. Like Johnson, Rossi has had to live down scandalous enthusiasms. Johnson was a fascist sympathizer in the 1930s, and Rossi, whose work is sometimes reminiscent of monumental Mussolini-era buildings, defends to this day "the great ((Soviet)) architecture of the Stalinist period...

...inspired by elegiac European modernists of the years before the war (early Soviets, Man Ray, Dadaists) and by the tantalizing, electric strangeness of postwar Japan. As in architecture, the revival of old styles creates some time-warp curiosities. In one of the display cases, designer Carin Goldberg's faux-1930s book jacket for a 1988 edition of Camus sits near books actually from the era -- and the new piece seems more evocative of the bygone era than the real things...
