First-year Katherine Brown, who normally sports jet-black hair but at Harvard has gone red, blonde and auburn, says, "Hair-dyeing is a seasonal thing. I get bored of the way I look and want a change. Then I can shape my wardrobe along with the color of my hair. I guess I am just pursuing my best look, and to find it I constantly revamp it. Besides, it's less permanent than a boob...
...begins in Qunu, the Xhosa village where Mandela grew up and where he has been vacationing for the past week. Fog and rain blanket the Transkei hills, so the President must forgo his usual daily morning walk. At 5 a.m. he heads for the airport, where his jet waits to fly him 400 miles north to Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital...
...powerful companies have even managed to raise their prices during the yen's ascent without fear of losing business. These companies, with names like Kyocera and Minebea, control vast global markets for little-known but essential items such as ceramic packages for semiconductors and precision-engineered ball bearings for jet engines.

His best-selling autobiography opens with the 1978 scene of his being booted from his job at Ford, the company...
When it is really silly, the dumbness can be disarming, as it was with Nauman's predecessor, the American Dada gagman Man Ray. Witness early Nauman photo pieces like Self-Portrait as a Fountain, 1966-67, the artist expelling a jet of water through his pursed lips. And it is fully in the tradition of Marcel Du-champ, whose puns were equally feeble. An early Nauman like From Hand to Mouth, 1967 (a wax cast of the artist's arm, shoulder and throat) is a retread of Duchamp's 1959 With My Tongue in My Cheek, a cast...
