...Holidays Kudos to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a wonderful diplomatic and public relations coup [April 16]. He released the British captives at the right time. I particularly enjoyed his remark that the act was a "gift" to Britain for Easter and the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Contrast this to the hanging of Saddam Hussein on the first day of 'Id al-Adha by the American puppets in Iraq.

Though Rhoads characterized her play as some of the most solid that Harvard has had this whole...
...frame.Together, however, the photographs form something incredibly impressive. Adjaye curated the exhibit, himself, and his own architectural skills come out in the design and organization of the exhibition, revealing a brilliant use of space—something not readily apparent from the photographs.The gridded layout is a striking contrast to the seeming urban chaos and begs for comparisons between buildings within neighborhoods, neighborhoods within cities, cities within regions, and regions within the continent. Adjaye’s arrangement, which is surprisingly lively and skillfully avoids desiccating the subject, makes these comparisons both accessible and rewarding. His depictions sometimes seem arbitrary...
