...reactors on its soil. More are on the way: last year, the government approved the launch of a new generation of reactor, with the first one scheduled to be built-by Areva-in the Normandy town of Flamanville starting in 2007. Just how big could nukes become? Jean-Jacques Gautrot, who heads Areva's international division, does a quick calculation. Taking into account the world's growing energy needs, and the fact that many of the world's existing plants will be coming to the end of their lives, he reckons at least 800 new reactors will be built over...
...photographs, bring a sense of reality to artists who would have none of it. The photographer Man Ray stands amid what appears to be a collapsed building, André Breton puts on huge spectacles, Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Stella pose together on a sofa, while Tzara, Max Ernst and Jean Arp relax on a Tyrolean holiday.

Damrosch is the author of “Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Restless Genius,” one of five nominees for the prestigious award. Damrosch—who has already introduced hundreds of Harvard students to the world of Rousseau in Literature and Arts A-72: “The Enlightenment Invention of the Modern Self...
...concert commission has announced that they’ve locked down Wyclef Jean to perform at the Gordon Track and Field Center on Nov. 6, though some have grumbled about the commission’s failure to find out who undergrads really want to see. I asked some people whether Wyclef has them stoked; the majority of people said they’d never even heard of him, and several others told me they’d rather have a good indie rock band. Still, a few others said they’d be happy to re-live middle school...
