Including more than one church from a similar denominational root is not alien to the UM either. There are two Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist sects among Harvard’s ministries. Surely, then, there is room at Harvard for two Episcopalian sects with unique traditions. Anything less denies students adequate religious choice...
...Paris 1400 show (March 26-July 12). "French Primitives," the centennial of a groundbreaking 1904 exhibit, provides a minisurvey of 58 exemplary 15th century works including the renowned Avignon Pietà, a large, luminous painting of the dead Christ awkwardly laid across his mother's knees, with John the Baptist, in an unusual gesture, removing his crown of thorns. In the terrific little show's biggest coup, the separate and fragile panels of the Aix Annunciation triptych are brought together - from Aix-en-Provence, Brussels, Amsterdam and Rotterdam - for the first time since 1932.

"The military's full of African Americans, and a number of them are dying in Iraq," notes Buffalo Soldier Blair Talmadge, 41, of Philadelphia. But like all voters, African Americans want to know what the candidates will do about health care and education, which is why Clark often glides...
...often found in political oratory: it is charming. He is able, somehow, to shed his brass and re-create his lonely, impoverished childhood in Arkansas: his patriotic attempt to master chemistry and build a backyard rocket after the Russians launched Sputnik; his decision, at age 5, to attend the Baptist church in Little Rock because the stained-glass windows reminded him of the Methodist church he'd attended in Chicago before his father died; his struggle to raise a family on a military salary; the car he totally rebuilt because he couldn't afford a new one.
