...Sert Gallery in the Carpenter Center, titled “Pedacito del Cielo (1998-2008),” tackles the tangled exponents of Latin American geometrical abstraction, from modernist architecture to sculpture to a video of performance art.

...With the State Department short-staffed and unprepared for operating in dangerous places like Iraq and Afghanistan, Pentagon officials have expressed frustration in recent years that the military has been forced to shoulder most of the load in post-conflict zones. To address this, Rice is proposing the creation of a Civilian Response Corps. Similar to the military reserves, the new program would comprise doctors, lawyers, engineers, agricultural experts, police officers and public administrators, led by a team of diplomats, that could deploy with a military unit with 48 hours notice. Senators Joseph Biden of Delaware and Richard Lugar...
