...graduate of Columbia. There are no exceptions or excuses. It is not freedom that is important, but enlightened freedom. The current Core proposal proclaims that such enlightenment will only be reached when we update the tools to face modern challenges. Yet the human condition has changed little since Homer, Dante, or Shakespeare. We are still passionate about love, troubled by death, and profoundly confused as to how to run our societies. The main qualm people have with this approach is that it is difficult; someone has to choose which books to read, and selecting some means leaving out others. There...
...place for the dead, and a vibrant park-ground for the, well, non-dead. Over the years, the cemetery has become the home turf for some of New England’s best and brightest, from Massachusetts senator and vocal abolitionist Charles Sumner to 19th century landscape painter Winslow Homer.

Arab Homer doesn't eat pork either, but he is, like a lot of American programs this year, bringing home the bacon...
Paris has always harbored a special allure for American expatriate writers, artists and composers. But throughout the late 19th century, a particularly high concentration of great American painters - including Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler and Mary Cassatt - passed through the City of Light. From Oct. 24-Jan. 18, their labors will be on display in "Americans in Paris, 1860-1900" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The 100 oil paintings by 37 mostly Impressionist painters have already wowed crowds and critics in both London and Boston. The exhibit ranges from portraits to cityscapes to glimpses into...
