ROSS KING King has made a career of elucidating crucial episodes in the history of art and architecture (Brunelleschi's Dome, Michelangelo & the Pope's Ceiling). This time he's at play in the fields of French art and society from 1863 to 1874, years when France preferred academic painters, with their lusty goddesses and uplifting battle scenes. But what France preferred was under challenge by a rising (and sometimes backbiting) new group of artists. At the same time, the vainglorious Emperor Louis-Napoléon was stumbling into the calamities of war and revolution. Eventually art would imitate life...
...final five minutes. A number of great scoring opportunities resulted for both teams from these special teams situations, but neither side could convert.Against Yale (7-10-5, 4-5-4) the next day, the effectiveness of the penalty kill and the inefficiency of the power play again emerged as crucial themes. Harvard was whistled for eight fouls on the afternoon, including five in a penalty-plagued second period, and endured 3:37 of 5-on-3 in the early going. It finally permitted a score on the eighth and final Bulldogs power play. Meanwhile, the Crimson derived just its lone...
...called “Quartet” of the U.S., U.N., E.U., and Russia should make its future financial support of the Palestinian authority contingent on the government’s ability to distance itself from Hamas’ terrorist roots.

If the Quartet is to continue to provide aid, it must do so only under...

With a blink from the White House, Russia changed a crucial law in 2002, and offered Iran to take back the spent fuel, thus minimizing Teheran’s contact with fissile material. Despite intense negotiations, Teheran flirts with refusal, alleging that it would only perpetuate its dependency on foreign powers. Moreover, the IAEA has openly declared that some of Iran’s figures for fissile material stock simply...
...looked out of sync tonight.” Neither team could establish any sort of offensive rhythm, but it was Harvard that made the most mistakes in the early parts of the second half. The Crimson turned the ball over 10 times in the second half and missed seven crucial free throws, mustering just two field goals in the first ten minutes of the latter frame. Then Robinson took over, slicing through the Yale defense and getting to the free throw line—the only place Harvard found any offense after halftime. Despite the seven misses...
