...collection of 20 years of photographer Jeff Brouws’s work.At first glance, “Approaching Nowhere” appeals to the average over-worked Harvard student’s escapist fantasies. Full-page photographs of empty highways ending in mist and deserted rest areas blend in with the barren landscape: you can almost feel the wind whistling in your ears. On closer examination, however, Brouws, far from endorsing the dream of travel, in fact denounces the dystopia of the American Dream and its obsession with mobility of all kinds.Though Brouws’s social criticism is effective...

Why does my country house two holy cities—Mecca and Medina—whereas Jews claim but one—Jerusalem, site of the Temple of Solomon and Herod? What accounts...

Koh was clearly aware that the success of the orchestra depended on each of its parts working together—a trait that truly...
...suicides began last December, when postman Craig Parsons, 40, was found hanged. Four months later, lorry driver Peter Forrester, 35, died after overdosing on medication prescribed for his wife, who had recently died of a heart attack while playing badminton. Nigel Buckley-Robins, 50, succumbed to a deadly blend of painkillers and alcohol the following month. All three deaths were ruled suicides by South Staffordshire coroner Andrew Haigh...
