Ackroyd, a self-described nomad who has lived in Ohio, New York and Massachusetts, as well as Maine, says she chose ElderSpirit because she wanted to be part of a caring community that shares her interest in spirituality and a desire to assist one another as its members age together. In addition to three former nuns who came up with the ElderSpirit concept, its residents include a substance-abuse counselor, a city manager, a painter, an attorney, a secretary, a female police officer and a teacher, all now retired, plus a speech therapist and a tennis coach who are still...
...second day, a gothic journey into the partisan excesses of American politics, was all about what the Bush Administration has become. The President chose to campaign for two of the more skeevy candidates offered by the Republicans this year, the adulterous Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood and the macaca-stained Virginia Senator George Allen. One might legitimately ask, Why on earth would he do that? The answer, I suspect, is twofold.

Tata Sons, the holding company that manages the group, is 65.8% owned by 11 charitable trusts, which spent $379.2 million on social causes in 2003-04 alone. Over...
Perhaps the aforementioned Crimson article represents a case of judging a book by its cover. I chose the title “Dinosaurs and Their Relatives” to entice students to the sciences. They learn about a great deal more than just dinosaurs. And I presumed, perhaps mistakenly, that others would also recognize that fact. Now, I could have called the course the “An Introduction to the Earth Sciences, Evolutionary Biology and Paleontology, Using Dinosaurs and All Their Terrestrial Vertebrate Relatives (Including Humans) as a Vehicle.” But that’s a little...
...phenomenon of scratch-n-sniff. A white plaque on the wall instructs visitors to “please touch walls to release scents.”A fellow visitor commented that some of the sweat smelled “surprisingly good.” Tolaas deliberately chose scents that played with the olfactory perceptions of nationalities—was the strange lemon smell of panel #3 faintly European? Was #9 Indian? Forced to engage with a smell and no image, visitors conjure up fuzzy images that are refused confirmation in the white walls surrounding them.Bruce Nauman allows viewers...
