Whatever sententious hoo-ha Babel is freighted with, however, there is a larger point in it and its butterfly-fiction cohort that cuts across political boundaries: that in the globalization, global-warming, global-terror era, other people's problems are our own, and class privilege and a U.S. passport are no force field. (Indeed, Babel's story of Americans in mortal peril among foreigners even echoes, if inadvertently, a Bush Administration refrain: that we are no longer protected by two big oceans.) You can argue the politics and the art of Babel and company. It is harder to argue their...
Pagans, prisoners, and primitive England were the subject of the inaugural lecture in the series “Medieval Archaeology in the 21st Century,” yesterday afternoon. Professor of Archaeology at York University Martin Carver delivered a speech entitled “Sutton Hoo in the Light of the New Excavations: a Political Weathervane of the Seventh Century” to a crowd of nearly 100 in the Tsai Auditorium at the Center for Government and International Studies. According to Harvard’s Medieval Studies committee member and Goelet Professor of Medieval History Michael McCormick, the lecture...
...King of Rock, Soul and Restraint UNMISSABLE In 2001 Solomon Burke was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Mary J. Blige.

You can't blame Hathaway, who is a winsome actress, for this resort to cliché. When she has to out-maneuver Miranda's other assistant (Emily Blunt) for the most favored spot in the executive suite, she shows plenty of moxie. You're not exactly certain she knows exactly what she's doing, but you also see that...
Just two weeks prior, the scene was hectic but warm at the King house. The children played video games. Jan and Yolanda Meehan-Hoo held hands in the kitchen and talked about how much the town had done for them. Forrest hovered nearby, chiming in occasionally, as Marie made dinner. "Forrest is like the dad of the whole family," said Jan, smiling. "Anytime I have gone to this man with a problem, he's solved it. Even things I didn't want solved...
