Breathe in, and you inhale the warm smell of latex, so reminiscent of childhood birthday parties. Pull aside the curtain, and behold an ocean of “6000 Balloons...
Just over a year ago, stately 19th- and early 20th-century paintings from Harvard’s massive art collection adorned the walls of the main corridor in Massachusetts Hall. Recently, this hallway, which bustles with the traffic of the University’s top administrators and professors, has been decorated with the artwork of current students. In an effort to inject a contemporary feel into the high-profile space and to increase the visibility of student art at Harvard, University President Drew G.

Such moves led to a protest website, letourcongresstweet.org, and Twitter's first petition. The rules were relaxed in October.

...stores, including the new emporium, and also runs a wholesale-distribution business to supply them. Getting in to see him is hard. A security guard wants to know whether we are American spies. Petrov's deputy, Viktor Denisov, nervously locks his office door when he crosses the corridor to see his boss. Petrov is deliberately cagey about business prospects. Yes, an economic crisis is now raging, "but this is not the first time we've had one," he says. Indeed, back in 1998, Denisov says mysteriously, "it was a crisis that helped us move a step ahead." Business, both insist...
