...last minute.”A select number traveled to New Haven on Friday night for the Giengengack Invitational and turned in their best performances of the season. Another contingent will head to Boston University today for the Indoor vs. Multi Team Meet. Sophomore Becky Christensen continued to collect records as she bettered the year-old meet record of 1.70 meters with a jump of 1.75 meters. Christensen, who is currently ranked 11th in the nation in the high jump, was coming off a personal best jump of 1.80 meters in the tri-meet against Brown and Cornell...

Taxation has been replaced by protection rackets ranging from clan gangsters who collect weekly "rent" to garbage collectors who dump rubbish in a street and demand money to remove...

Under the new Meiji Emperor, Japan in the 1870s was just opening to the outside world after centuries of isolation. Japanese handicrafts were flooding into European department stores and art galleries. Japonisme, a fascination with all things Japanese, was soon the rage among French intellectuals and artists, among them Vincent van Gogh, Edouard Manet, Camille Pissarro and the young Monet. Perhaps for that reason Impressionism caught on early in Japan and remains ferociously popular there...
