Those markers put the Eagles up, 4-1, and Harvard never really threatened after that, relying on an impotent power play (only a couple of actual opportunities in 14 minutes of man-up hockey) to keep them out of the game...
...apparent density of a screen or a boundary. These are not cheap hall-of-illusion effects. At its best, as in Raemar, Turrell's work has a restrained, elevated air, hushed and deliberate; one thinks of Mark Rothko's paintings, translated into three dimensions and actual conditions of light. And just as Rothko's paintings were once accused of "emptiness" - there being nothing for the casual eye to engage beyond a couple of fuzzy colored rectangles - so Turrell's installations may be thought, by some, not full enough.

Said Economist Eckstein: "The scientific evidence suggests that the only thing that improves inflation expectations is actual experience, and the experience in 1981 is just not going to be all that marvelous." Added Heller: "I hope and pray that President-elect Reagan can lower inflationary expectations, but the prospects do not look very good. The fact is that tax cuts go against the public's conception...
