...been organized by Rudenstine, Kennedy, Rep. Michael A. Capuano (D-Mass.), and Rep. Nancy L. Johnson ’57 (R-Conn.). Almost a dozen members of Congress are Harvard alumni, including Sen. Charles E. Schumer ’71 (D-N.Y.) and Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV ’58-’61 (D-W.V.), who both attended the lunch...
...History warns that revolution lurks within these "contradictions," but history also reminds us how beleaguered regimes have traditionally dealt with the volcano inside. The classic prescription is to "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels," as Shakespeare's Henry IV told his successor. It is hyper-nationalism and xenophobia that fuses regime and people, rich and poor, losers and winners in one Great National Whole. Jingoism is the traditional antidote against discontent and revolt, and the Chinese have been made to lap from this fount aplenty.

The fiercely independent animals of "Grazing Horses IV" merge into what seems to be almost a collective consciousness composed of three round figures in "Large Blue Horses." The landscape emerges from the background, becoming a living presence that closely surrounds the horses. Color is reduced to mere essentials, to primary hues that had symbolic value for Marc. Blue came to signify masculinity, yellow femininity...
