...Boston show is full of groupings that allow you to compare how all three artists handled similar subjects. At various times, each of them produced a rendition of the Supper at Emmaus, the story from the New Testament in which the risen Christ reveals himself to a pair of astonished disciples. Titian's came first, in 1533-34, a picture of masterly calm and balance that borrows the stabilizing horizontal format of Leonardo's Last Supper. In 1542 the young Tintoretto took on the same subject and made it a scrum, full of lunging bodies and energies exploding outward...
...festival's center of gravity, however, was far away from this kind of well-made dramaturgy. Three of the six full-length works presented (along with a program of 10-minute plays, one of the festival's signature events, and an evening of sketches showcasing the apprentice troupe) were experimental, non-narrative works. Wild Blessings: A Celebration of Wendell Berry, directed and co-written by artistic director Masterson, is a gracefully staged pastiche of the writings of bucolic Kentucky poet Wendell Berry, but is a little too high-minded and low-energy for my tastes. I had more fun with...
...normally delineate a severely unbalanced game or ailing team, not only is Harvard having a good season, but they also have a winning record on the road (9-5). The problem yesterday evening was not the Terriers’ pitching—while pitcher Kelley Engman pitched an impressive full seven innings with only four hits, it was no Cy Young performance, as she had just two strikeouts...
...which the Russian government and some American arms-control advocates now oppose, measures only the number of nuclear weapons on the tips of long-range missiles or on bomber bases. Most long-range missiles are capable of carrying multiple, independently targeted warheads, and long-range bombers rarely fly with full payloads. So the "operationally deployed warhead" measure doesn't count the stockpile of warheads that both the U.S. and Russia could load onto existing missiles and bombers. In deterrence theory, this raises the possibility of one side or the other achieving a "breakout capacity," meaning that it could quickly...
History is full of revolutionaries who failed to make the switch. Most promised people's rule but, once in power, embraced a permanent state of revolution - some, like Robert Mugabe and Hugo Chávez, conjuring up fantastical foreign enemies to fight. (To those ranks, now add the leader of the influential ANC Youth League, Julius Malema, who told the East London rally that the young would "never allow them to donate this country to Britain, to the hands of the colonizers.") To their people, this never-ending war is generally experienced as dictatorship. Too many liberation leaders leave office...
