...sees it at full stretch in The Soup, with its tremendous image of a working-class Earth Mother, as old as the tenant of a limestone cave but as new as the Republic, gorging herself from the steaming pot, while her infant sucks at her breast -- a continuum of blind appetite, expressed in rhythmical line. Here, the long Rococo tradition in French art of painting the lower classes as nifty milkmaids or idealized swains gets its coup de grace. Not all of Daumier's drawings have the fierceness of this one (how could any artist sustain it?), but they...
When you skate on thin ice for too long, it will eventually cave in on you. After surviving two ominously close calls last week at Cornell and Colgate, the luck of the Crimson (18-3-2, 15-2-2 ECAC) finally ran out last night, as Dartmouth (10-13-0, 8-11-0 ECAC) shocked the third-ranked Crimson here in Thompson Arena...

Aladdin's animation is the sum of knowledge accumulated from past efforts like Sleeping Beauty--for example, Jafar's transformation into a overpowering serpent in Aladdin far surpasses the visual impact of the witch's metamorphosis into a towering dragon...
...looking at fossil specimens and studying current species, researchers have concluded that most cave dwellers started out at the entrance of the cave. As they and their descendants traveled deeper inside and away from sunlight, they began to lose their eyes and develop other sensory organs to compensate. But is this loss an active process or just a question of disuse? "That's been a raging debate ever since Darwin's time," Poulson says. "What we've found is that it's disuse. There is no natural selection to screen out any bad mutations that affect the eyes. So eventually...
