Others, from the depths of their faith in the Health Ministry, believed in the beads as a magic charm against conception. One chief trouble, as it turned out, was too many babies who just loved to play with mother's beads and disrupt her calculations...
Modern painters, mostly French and mostly at least eccentric, will once more parade in dazzling array across the Fogg Large Lecture Room this fall, as Professor Deknatel tackles "Fine Arts 170." Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, and Klee head the cast...
