Anything seems to go in design today: styles clash, boundaries blur and hipper-than-thou types talk of "hybridity." And few practitioners better reflect the pick-and-mix trend than Barcelona-based product designer Jaime Hay?n. The 32-year-old Spaniard has a taste for the theatrical, so calling the latest overview of his work (at the Aram Gallery in London until Nov. 4) "Stage" is entirely appropriate. Playfulness is a hallmark, too. Having won a cult following in 2004 for his zany yet unsettling space-invader figurines?which were, not surprisingly, big in Japan?Hay?n then broke through last...
...commemorated the fifth anniversary of 9/11, the U.S. government continued to hold several hundred people in an illegal prison at Guantánamo Bay.

The thumping Revu Rockers deftly weaves blaring trumpets with a solid house beat into a hybrid that is greater than the sum of its parts. If only our politicians understood border crossing half as well...
Statistically, Dartmouth’s clash with Penn on Saturday was a dead heat. Borderline uncanny. Both teams ran exactly 64 plays. Time of possession went to the Big Green—by 12 seconds. Dartmouth out-passed the Quakers by 14 yards and was out-run by four. And it only lost by a touchdown, in Philadelphia no less. These are causes for celebration, and signs of improvement...
