Leverett’s successor, Edward Holyoke, Class of 1705, added yet another relic to the installation ritual—the famous Harvard President’s Chair. Though the exact origins of the chair remain unknown, it has achieved legendary status due to its shaky triangular framework that makes each presidential sitting—at installation ceremonies and at Commencement—a balancing...
...image. It represents a feat of the intellect, not one of the imagination-it is, again, a scholastic exercise and has little to do with beauty and visual representation. It is perhaps the least apt model for budding visual artists to follow, since it imposes on them a theoretical framework without encouraging the development of a dynamic visual style...
...President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich created the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, which I co-chaired with Warren Rudman, to propose a new national security framework.

This more informal structure is helped by a legal framework that is increasingly sympathetic to nontraditional families: in Denmark, for example, under a law passed this year, cohabiting couples automatically have joint custody of newborn children. Throughout Europe, couples like the Skovlind-Nielsens are redefining what the term family means in the year 2001. Forget the stereotype of a bread...
