...passions are also evident in her artwork. “For a lot of the pictures, I was interested in the way text functions, that you can read all of the notes, cereal boxes, and papers,” she says. In a photograph of her refrigerator, which is absent from the exhibit but is included in the exhibition catalogue, the appliance bears a magazine pullout entitled, “Do I Dare to Eat a Strawberry?” A jar of Colon Cleanse sits on top of the fridge next to a box of Cheerios.Calling herself...
...military strategy in Mosul for both U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces is much the same approach used elsewhere in Iraq over the years, with mixed results. Absent, however, is one key aspect that shaped progress in other places over the past year: local volunteer security forces who, in many cases, were nationalist insurgents who broke with al-Qaeda in Iraq.

She had given Harvard fits in a February contest in Ithaca, pouring in 16 points and grabbing 11 boards in Cornell’s 85-61 win.Where was she?As it turns out, Maduka...
...Certainly, Harvard is right to protect the interests of its campus as a historical landmark. As the oldest college green in America, there is good reason why hot dog vendors and tennis courts remain absent from the Yard. But Harvard’s precious few acres are there for students, not for tourists—and they have been the site of endless instances of public discourse throughout the centuries. Certainly chalk is no more foreign than black steel trash cans or Poland Springs delivery trucks, both of which enjoy free access. Chalk does not disrupt the equilibrium between artifact...
