Bryant has served under three different presidents, and the record of his tenure is, in the words of one longtime staffer, "beyond remarkable." He's built a library staff, which he ceaselessly praises as the most committed and competent in the nation, that has kept Harvard in the fore of the library world. The number of employees in the College Library system--those 15 which come under the Widener bailiwick--has stayed the same for the past ten years. But acquisitions of collections, and hence the workload of the staff, have dramatically increased. Harvard's library system, once labelled...
There is no bathroom. A funnel in the semiprivate stairwell up front is supposed to serve the truly desperate. Thank God, rest stops are frequent. There is a tape deck, though, with speakers fore and aft. As we pull out, the Beatles pump out Here Comes the Sun. And supper starts as some kind of spontaneous combustion. "I've got organic carrots," says Linden, rummaging in a satchel. Before you know it, dates, French bread, salami and a bottle of Mr. Wente's best Grey Riesling are passing from hand to hand.

After much study, he was convinced, just be fore the session began, that he had found an answer, though he was not telling anybody what...
That sense of reality in the midst of abstraction, of the painting as an object rather than an image, would stay with Nicholson. It is not much to the fore in his first tentative cubist paintings, but it is evident in the severely geometric white reliefs Nicholson did in the 1930s under the spell of constructivism and Mondrian, and it pervades his later work. The viewer is always aware of material gently asserting itself: how the tobacco-brown hardboard, rubbed and glazed with a pow dery white or blue that clings to its sur face like fog to a headland...
