Molesworth comes to Harvard from the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, where she served as chief curator of exhibitions, a position she held since 2003, according to the museum’s press release...

John McCain is currently starring in an ad for Pryce; Barack Obama came to Columbus to campaign for Kilroy last week - the latest in a line of potential 2008 hopefuls that has also included John Kerry and John Edwards, the 2004 nominee and his running mate, as well as Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd...
