...Christine Keeler?her notorious nudity concealed by shadow and a strategically placed chair?is a photographic icon that has cut through the vicissitudes of fashion. But the rest of Morley's 50-year career hasn't been so unapologetic, and it seems every few years the Hong Kong-born, English-trained and (for the past 35 years) Australian-based photographer is discovered anew. There have been retrospectives in London and Canberra, and an ongoing mission to measure the rest of Morley's oeuvre against this minx in the Modernist chair with the Mona Lisa smile.v...
...after writing an essay that made perfect sense to me and that I had worked on for several days, did I get a grade far lower than those I had gotten in high school English?

You can see the numbers, you can see the details," referring to Federer's top ranking and eight Grand Slams, compared...
When Behnaz Mohsenian, 29, started English lessons at the Najdad Institute in Tehran this spring, the 15 men and women in her class studied grammar sitting in mixed circles. Last month, the language institute divided male and female students into separate classes held on separate days of the week. Not long after, female staff began arriving at work dressed in full-length black chador, at the government-run institute's request. Now plans are under way to move the women's classes to a separate building, to eliminate altogether the possibility of illicit mingling. Promptly, a third of Mohsenian...
