Just as Goya did, David Hockney is going deaf. He has been for years. It doesn't keep him out of many conversations, though. He loves to talk, and with the help of two hearing aids, he can follow the flow of most discussions well enough. He's always happy to talk about art. He's particularly happy to talk about portraiture, especially since his own portrait work, more than five decades of it, is the subject of an important show that will open Feb. 26 at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He's very happy to talk about...
...beyond him. Composed with the deliberation of music or poetry, her groupings of bowls can limn the personal (Silence, 1995, where two pairs of figures tower above a silvery pool, either mute or deaf to each other) and the political (one can't help but read the queue of 23 moist-lipped vessels in Exodus II, 1996, as asylum seekers).

We know that Voith and Gadgil are the only candidates who can give you a voice and the means...
...letter of support for Felipe’s application uses language such as “unprecedented” to describe the restaurant’s popularity. But even the UC’s efforts, it appears, will come to naught—the CLC has turned a deaf ear to student concerns. Sadly, this is all too unsurprising. Currently, of the thousands of Harvard (not to mention MIT) undergraduates, a scarce few vote in Cambridge elections. The CLC and the Cambridge municipal government can afford to delude themselves into thinking that this is not a college town just because...
