...instructional facility is "on a par with Fitzwilliam at Cambridge (England), the Ashmolean at Oxford, and Yale and Princeton's museums," Rosenfield, Curator of Oriental Art, said last week. But he added that the Fogg uses its collection "far more intensively" in teaching. "We increase the link insofar as is commensurate with preserving the collection," Rosenfield said...

Liddell's biography is a pioneer work, for no one has ever presented a complete treatment of Cavafy's life in any language.

The device and its meaning--the immortality of art after its creator's death--are predictable enough; their sudden effectiveness here is a measure, perhaps the very best...
