...Highlight Reel:1. On the reputation of the pig: "Traditionally, pork is the staple meat of rural Galicia. It's a good, dependable food source. But dependable is the word. The pig does not evoke a sense of grandeur. It is an everyday animal. And its meat is not generally considered to be glamorous or sexy. Think sexy meat and it's a big juicy fillet or beef winking up at you from the plate, next to it a decent bottle of Bordeaux. Think healthy meat, if you must, and it's a small portion of free-range chicken breast...
...attention,” said Matthews K. Mmopi ’11, a student intern at the Center who helped Castro Samayoa organize the exhibit. “It wasn’t too out there, but it was enough to make a statement.” Several pictures highlight the role of college women in the movement. In one, hundreds of women, crowded under Radcliffe and Wellesley banners, march down a New York street in a suffrage demonstration.

To someone who comes from Greece, this must seem like a strange concept: the Parthenon frieze in the possession of the Louvre has become, ipso facto, French. The building of a national collection was central to creating the narrative of French greatness, of the power and glory of its empire. Like so much in French...
...cold January night in Iowa that he calls the highlight of the whole campaign, he offered a glimpse of the possible. Caucus-night victory speeches are usually sweaty affairs in crowded rooms full of debts to pay off. But Obama got up in his tightened tie and with total focus, in front of a teleprompter so he'd be sure to get it exactly right, delivered what even skeptics called one of the great political sermons of our time. "They said this day would never come," he declared. "They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come...
