...OFFICE NBC, Tuesdays, 9:30 P.M. E.T. When thisverit-style comedy made its debut last spring, it got little love from fans pining for the British original. In its second season, The Office proves it's no one's poor American cousin; it captures the absurdities of white-collar life right down to the uncomfortable office parties at Chili's.

The proud posture of Degas’ young cousin Giulia Bellelli is the exact mirror of the disdainfully regal pose of the woman in the Renaissance portrait. Wolohjian hopes visitors will see these sorts of connections as they explore the exhibit, on display at the Sackler Museum now through Nov. 27. Unlike Wolohojian, who currently teaches History...
