...Dignified Recluse. But money does not preoccupy Andrew Wyeth, and his whimsies are mostly a cover-up for what engrosses him, the subjects of his work. The most famous of these is a woman named Christina Olson. He has painted eight temperas of her or her house, a decrepit three-story clapboard pile atop a knoll near the Maine seacoast. One of them, Christina's World, now 15 years old, is one of the most durable and disquieting images of 20th century America. Against the wall of landscape that leads up to her house, the crippled body...
...size aren't important. We're in a death spiral: businesses are shedding workers at a record pace, which saps consumer spending, which leads to more layoffs, and so on. The public sector needs to get an awful lot of unemployed workers and equipment back to work ASAP. As Christina Romer, an expert on the Depression who will chair Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, warns in a new YouTube video, we can't "let that vicious cycle go all the way to the nightmare scenario." In fact, many Keynesian liberals have been dismissing the Obama proposal as overly timid...
While a complete team effort was the recipe for success for the Harvard women’s hockey team last season, the Crimson did have its stars, and perhaps none shined brighter than then-junior Sarah Vaillancourt and then-sophomore goaltender Christina Kessler.Vaillancourt was honored as the best player in the nation with the Patty Kazmaier Award, while Kessler set school records with a 1.06 goals against average and a .952 save percentage.Both players have remained solid this season, but the dominant performances that seemed to be the norm for the pair a year ago have appeared less frequently.That...
...cuts have the advantage, though, that they can be put in place quickly. There's also the more ideological, if still possibly valid, argument that they don't encourage the growth of bureaucracy. And recent empirical research - some of it by Christina Romer, the University of California, Berkeley, economist who will be chairwoman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers - indicates that tax cuts have been quite effective as stimulus in the past. All of which helps explain why 40% of the Obama stimulus consists of tax reductions...
...Harvard is still missing its top defenseman, junior Cori Bassett, who sustained an injury in the Crimson’s first matchup with the Big Green last month. While her return date is still uncertain, starting goaltender Christina Kessler will rejoin the team this weekend after spending the last week fulfilling her duties with the Canadian U-22 team. Kessler made 35 saves in two shutout appearances, helping her team to a silver medal at the MLP Cup in Germany, which ended last night...
