...Brady’s. Any more, and he would have been accused of running up the score.Neither Boston’s nor Harvard’s success, however, is limited to just one team. Just as the Patriots were soon joined by the Red Sox and now the long-dormant Celtics as symbols of dominance, other Harvard squads are following football’s lead as the college reestablishes its own culture of winning.First, there’s men’s basketball, where head coach Tommy Amaker’s knack for recruiting has generated a great deal...
...firing of Whitlam made many Australians sit up with a jerk. It had never occurred to them before that the Queen had the raw constitutional power to do such a thing. It cranked up the long-dormant impulse toward republicanism. Until the 1970s this had been an issue only for intellectuals and a few left-wing workers whose vehemence earned them an undeserved reputation as ratbags (obsessed eccentrics). The problem was democratizing the republican issue while detaching it from the ownership of the Australian left.

...Machines: Two Works by László Moholy-Nagy Through Nov. 4, 2007 Beige curtains shield the two unusual pieces in question from the outside world.

To attempt a summary is impossible. The book splays out like a carpet of smoke, following a plethora of characters through the war. It recounts each one’s experience, and there never is a feeling of completion, never any satisfaction...
Thoughts of belonging and legacy were prevalent among the 24 cello soloists, 98 cello students and countless music lovers gathered in Kronberg. Every cellist knows deep down that no matter how alive their instrument seems in their hands, it will return at their passing to its dormant state: a wooden box with four strings. Most agreed that Rostropovich's greatest legacy was his ability to cajole and inspire the major composers of the century to write for the cello. In total, there are said to be 132 compositions that owe their existence to his enthusiastic suggestion, a figure evident...
