...lover Isabel, the Queen of Spain, who is under threat by conspiring forces of the Holy See. The book opens with a Hollywood style set piece as Thomas leads a band of soldiers in an assault on a huge Mayan temple thought to contain the Tree. As hundreds clash on the temple steps a stony-eyed Mayan priest tears the still-beating heart out of a Franciscan friar. It's an exciting sequence that takes best advantage of artist Kent Williams' ability to combine expressive, natural characterization with fantastically interpretive imagery. In a class with the mixed-media work...

...partisan rancor in Washington, the Harvard College Democrats and the Harvard Republican Club (HRC) sorted out their differences, exchanging trash-talk and welt-raising projectiles in the first “Bipartisan Paintball Brawl.” Though The Crimson has already offered one perspective (“Partisans Clash in Paintball War,” 2/3/06), FM decided to evaluate the battle strategy of the warring factions.

Yet a working relationship between the dean of the Faculty and the president is pivotal to the dean’s ability to act as an intermediary between the Faculty and Massachusetts Hall.
