...good friends and colleagues Franz Marc and August Macke died in combat. These experiences are reflected in Klee's work, although it's not always obvious at first glance. The abstract drawing After a Drawing From the Year 1919, for example, reduces an air attack on a boat to bare lines and geometrical shapes. In Klee's depictions of aerial battles, war planes look like birds, and often it's only the titles - Crashing Bird or Aerial Hunting Scene - that reveal the real meanings of the paintings...
Plimpton's fame and glaring idiosyncrasies (born and raised in New York City, he spoke as if he were always dashing off to a regatta) make him the perfect subject for a code-cracking biography, the kind that lays bare the man and his motivations. George, Being George does the trick, in part by borrowing the form of Plimpton's own biographies of Capote and Edie Sedgwick (Jean Stein's Edie: American Girl, which he edited).

Facing No. 20 Princeton on Saturday, the Crimson needed a similar effort from its talented sophomore to take over first place in the Ivies. Just 22 seconds into the game, Sheeleigh delivered when took the ball up the right side of the goal, dribbled past...
...hours before they have to stand in the cold at Soldiers Field sobering up. In this unfortunate situation, too many students would find it far more rational to remain drunk, warm, and out of the police’s reach by staying near the Square.Those who do decide to bare the rules and regulations of this year’s will face an entirely different challenge in Allston: having fun under the constraints of martial law. The prospect of police officers prowling the tailgate grounds will leave little room for gregariousness and glee. The mood that these officers will set?...
