Puryear, who is African-American, was born and raised in Washington, D.C., where his father was a postal worker and his mother an elementary-school teacher. After college at Catholic University of America, he spent two crucial years in the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone. What impressed him there most was not the tribal art but the well-made things of everyday life: baskets, boats, woven fabric. From there he moved to Sweden for two years to study printmaking and to experiment on his own with sculpture. "That's where it became pretty clear to me," he says...
Bill Gates, the father of the Geek Pantheon, has said that he will not read more than four or five pages at a time off of a computer screen. But digital consumption of text is growing every day. Most Harvard students lack even a cursory knowledge of what is contained in the prodigious collections of Widener Library, and few could navigate the stacks without a map.

The most important offices in the President's home state are held by members of the first family, starting with the governor, the President's father, Hugo de los Reyes Chavez. A younger brother, Argenis Chavez, is Secretary of State; and another, Anibal Chavez, is mayor of Sabaneta. A third brother, the oldest, Adan Chavez, has long been a member of Hugo's cabinet in Caracas, first as his chief of staff and now as education...
...runs Barinas, local journalists say, is not the governor, Hugo's aging father, but rather his brother Argenis, who, as secretary of state holds a position that doesn't exist anywhere else in the country. Argenis, too, delivers anti-Bush harangues, but shorter and less spontaneous than his more famous brother's. And his audiences are smaller. At an event near Barinas commemorating independence hero Simon Bolivar's birthday, Argenis walked down a red-carpeted aisle and told a crowd seated on a high-school basketball court that Venezuela has an "ineludible commitment to march towards the socialism...
