...intentions stretch far beyond campus activism. It is quite often that our experience as students in one of the most privileged environments in the world threatens to suffocate our knowledge of the world around us. One need not look far to see the realities of a world that is colored by segregation, actively expanding the prison and military industries as freedom and justice become less and less of a concern. Repression and violence against poor people, women and people of color take place without serious repercussions. And we stand witness to post-9/11 policies that continue to threaten civil...
...hostel for Soviet advisers. Renovations last year uncovered original marble floors and restored the wainscoting. With chandeliers, brass fittings and just two floors of rooms, the Lungmen rates an adjective rarely applied to a Chinese hotel: intimate. My room's floor-to-ceiling windows framed locust trees and pistachio-color Russian buildings; lying on white sheets in a fluffy bed, China felt very far away. That's likely the atmosphere the original colonial owners intended to create...
...there, and during his tumultuous few months of living and working with Vincent van Gogh in Arles, that he developed the elements of his mature style--firmly modeled foreground figures against flat ranges of background color.

In Los Angeles, Koi Suwannagate, 35, sends "pickers" to yard sales to dig up old cashmere sweaters, which she cuts up and then resews into one-of-a-kind creations. "I look at it like an art piece," says Suwannagate, whose prices ($800 to $1,700 for a sweater) reflect intense workmanship...
...Scorsese's style is impatient, intimate, conspiratorial, the camera scurrying ever closer to the heart of the matter - X-rays of souls in stress. His films are also, thematically, the same film. In "Mean Streets" and "Raging Bull," "The King of Comedy" and "The Color of Money," "Goodfellas" and "Gangs of New York," he has made his own kind of buddy movie. Two men are bound by love or hate; one must betray the other and thereby help certify his mission...
