Decades before a white-faced Ziyi Zhang performed her electric dances in Hollywood's Memoirs of a Geisha-and years before the Arthur Golden novel of the same name ushered millions worldwide into the private corners of Kyoto's geisha quarter-an anthropologist from Stanford traveled to Japan's ancient capital to become the first foreigner to live and work along its narrow streets as a full-time geisha. Liza Dalby's experiences inspired several books, including her memorable and elegant Geisha, published in 1983, a book on kimono and a novel about Japan's first novelist, Lady Murasaki...
...team that redesigned the magazine was led by Luke Hayman of Pentagram and our own art director Arthur Hochstein, with great help from our two deputy art directors, Cynthia Hoffman and D.W. Pine.

The bridge never got built, but current plans for renovations and a new museum in Allston will seek to span the gaps in the University’s museums.Over the years, the University has always grappled with how to reconcile...
...wildly dysfunctional family comprised of the borderline psychotic Emma (Lara C.A. Markstein ’10), who remembers nothing about her past due to possibly-justified repression; her HIV-positive, embittered, and somewhat vengeful brother, Todd (Michael R. Wolfe ’09); and their parents, Grace and Arthur. Arthur (Dan G. Rosen ’10) is financially successful, emotionally distant, and possibly more attached to Emma than he ought to be: to use a favorite phrase of his to describe their relationship, “That can’t have been healthy.” Grace (Renee...
