...Crimson's last home match against Siena, she netted a career-high 24 kills and 23 digs. Earlier this season in a match against Columbia, Forcum became a member of the prestigious 1,000 career-kill club and ended the regular season second on Harvard's all-time career list with 1,186 kills...
...shift in our conception of the role men and women play in society and, by extension, in a life-long partnership. Where marriage used only to necessitate the determination of one life plan (the man's), it now requires the coordination of two life plans. When a woman's career took a back seat to her husband's, a permanent commitment was easier to make at the age of 22 than it is now, for the simple reason that a man would go where his life took him and his wife would follow. Today, with both partners free to pursue...
Bill and Hillary Clinton's generation represents the transition between the traditional patriarchal family and us, the first truly "equal partnership" generation. Born in 1947, Hillary Rodham grew up and went to college during the heart of the women's movement. She pursued a career after attending Wellesley, not marrying until she had established her credentials.

...Goya he wasn't, nor a Velazquez, nor a Titian. An American Picasso, maybe? No: the oeuvre lacks that vast span. For someone who had the impact on international art that he did, Pollock had a bafflingly short career. He didn't attain any degree of originality until after his 30th birthday. The arc of the career rises from 1943, when the collector and gallery owner Peggy Guggenheim commissioned him to paint a mural for her Manhattan apartment, to the early '50s--no more than 10 years. The final four years of his life brought a string of pictorial failures...
...amazing experience to walk through the central galleries of this show where the masterpieces of his career are hung, the huge all-over paintings of 1948-50. How did an artist who looked so unpromising at first attain this clarity, strength and command of scale? Not easily, and it is very much to the show's credit that it includes failures and partial successes along with the works that incontestably come off. It makes you more alert to the risks Pollock took. There were no rules for what he was doing; the besetting danger was always overcongestion of the surface...
