...earlier age. Founded by its namesake, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, it was the Victorian-era precursor to photography, but has since largely been forgotten and its products mainly lost. In something of a resurrection, daguerreotypy is the subject of an exhibit, “A Curious and Ingenious Art: Reflections on Daguerreotypes at Harvard,” at the Fogg Art Museum...
...like to live intangibly?always between one thing and another." Each "stanza" has an enigmatic image: a glass of water, a bird sitting on a rock, Abe's head shaped like a nautilus.

Mann, whose performance is musical in all aspects, created a vocally-overpowering...
Cornel West is prolific, first and foremost—the author, according to his web site (www.cornelwest.com, for the curious), of “the best-seller Race Matters as well as many as 15 other published texts.” True, the “as many as” line obliquely nods to the fact that West’s curriculum vitae often lists books that he only co-wrote or contributed to (1991’s Breaking Bread with bell hooks, 1995’s Jews and Blacks: Let the Healing Begin with Michael Lerner, and several...
