...truth, those works - along with dozens of others by important modern Spanish artists - have been hanging in the esteemed institution for years. Until now, however, almost no one could see them. In 2002, the Academy opened a third floor dedicated to contemporary and modern works like Juan Gris' Fruit Bowl and Newspaper (1920), pictured. But just one day after the debut, a lack of security guards forced the new galleries to close. Since then, only members have had viewing privileges. "People would accuse us of being élitist and denying ordinary citizens the right to see these works," says Mercedes...
...experience with Harvard-Yale football before this year consisted entirely of the 2005 contest. I’m sure you remember—the unimaginable, eye-popping, this-is-the-greatest-rivalry-in-sports edition of The Game, when the Crimson beat the Bulldogs 30-24 at the Yale Bowl.

And by that logic, for the first time in a half-decade, New Haven is relevant again...

Watching him running in to bowl revives memories of an Australian practice at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the late '90s, when two speedsters at opposite ends of their careers were operating in adjacent nets. Veteran Craig McDermott was bustling in as though he had a lead weight strapped to each thigh; a flowing Brett Lee, meanwhile, might have been mistaken for an Olympic sprinter. Though...
