...room is a working model for entropy, strewn with dirty underwear and rumpled blouses. And Eddie's adolescent home boasts a velvet painting of John F. Kennedy, while the ghost-daughter of May's own past bounces behind her on a motel bed, and hugs her, crying, in the foreground of a rusted swingset...
LAST WEEK'S resurgence of anti-apartheid activity once again brought to the foreground the depth of the emotional feeling the divestiture issue raises on campus. More that 5000 students thronged the Yard to hear the Rev. Jesse I. Jackson denounce Harvard's ties to South Africa, and then some 75 staged an all-night vigil outside Massachusetts Hall.

With the exception of a few trees and buildings in the foreground of Tassel's print, the two photos are almost indistinguishable. A domed Moslem shrine dominates the parched landscape of the walled city, little changed through the centuries...

Throughout, Ruetz exploits the interplay of light and landscape at dawn and sunset: in a pair of striking pictures of Monument Valley, for example, and in a dramatic gatefold of Bryce Canyon, where the sunrise just burnishes the tops of the canyon's pinnacles. Dark skies and heavy clouds...
