...same number of kitchens and common rooms as their upper-class brethren, marginalizing large student groups in the face of an already colossal increase in the Yard’s social space seems counterproductive. Move-in day will be especially exciting this fall as student groups begin to inhabit their new digs in Hilles. For the groups that were slighted, we hope that the subcommittee reevaluates its office-assignment procedure so that next spring the Hilles space will be reallocated more carefully...
...smarter, snazzier or more moving, kinetically and emotionally, than Lasseter's Cars, which opens June 9. "I love having inanimate objects come to life," he says, ever the boy who can't stop tinkering and dreaming. All the characters are cars, but they're engagingly human. The lands they inhabit are richly detailed (thanks to years of research by Lasseter, co-director Joe Ranft and their team) and worlds apart: the NASCAR circuit, where autos and egos collide at 180 m.p.h., and a 1950s-ish town, keeping a sense of community far from the superhighway rat race...
...point out that Manolo Blahniks were virtually unknown in 1980. Or the unlikelihood of someone like Boone receiving a museum retrospective at 30, then falling into obscurity a few years later. And the early-'80s New York art scene was a little livelier than the moribund one his characters inhabit. But Carey isn't so much interested in the art world as in creative enterprise itself. "Shame, doubt, self-loathing," admits Boone, "all this we eat for breakfast." Perhaps we can allow Carey his moments of doubt. After all, with safer certainties, art - and writing as crackling as this - would...
...Nigeria was not a country but a "mere geographical expression." Awolowo was a Yoruba, from the country's southwest. The Yoruba, who are mostly Christian, are just one of three main ethnic groups in Nigeria. In the north live the Hausa/Fulani, who are mostly Muslim, while the Christian Igbo inhabit the southeast. Within each main ethnic group are dozens of smaller divisions. Moreover, millions of people have moved out of their ancestral homes into rival areas. Frictions between the ethnic groups have often erupted into violence - the most serious being the Biafran war from 1967 to 1970, when fighting between...
...Artists whose careers are measured in decades?Sinatra, McCartney, Dylan?eventually seem to inhabit an almost mythical realm of eternal fame in which their ties to the lives of ordinary beings are largely severed. Not B.B. King. Sixty years spent working with something as visceral as the blues has left him with no inclination to join the other immortals on music's Parnassus. Instead, he has chosen to remain right here with us, on the coal face of humanity, mining our rawest emotions to fuel a music that has the power to warm any heart. King's vast corpus...
