Given the western fascination with all things Chinese - from feng shui to fusion food, from Mandarin collars to the mainland economy - it is hardly surprising that London's Royal Academy would mount an exhibition devoted to its art. All the riches of Chinese civilization are on display at the sumptuous "China: The Three Emperors, 1662-1795" show until mid-April: artifacts from ancient dynasties, flowing calligraphy, elaborate scrolls, magnificent dragon-decorated robes, priceless jades and ancestor paintings that represent the most important Confucian value, filial piety.

But when musicianship of this caliber is on display, clarity is preferable to authenticity. Authenticity isn’t something Oldham has to worry about any longer. “Summer” proves that his sound can hold up in the proving ground of country music: the southeast. Oldham can now truly lay claim to the musical lineage...
Irvin had won the performance battle with an impressive display in the preseason scrimmage against Columbia. But O’Hagan held the edge in comfort and knowledge of the system. Irvin would start the opener, Harvard coach Tim Murphy said, but they would split time. They were both No. 1 quarterbacks. They each offered something different...
