Caracas in the 1950s and 1960s was a modernist boomtown. Croesan oil wealth and a powerful military dictatorship together created massive urban planning projects, built in the modernist style both by renowned American architects, like Philip Johnson, and South American practitioners of the style. The city was once called “pedacito del cielo”—a little piece of heaven. This is not just a nickname, but also seems to refer to the unfulfilled dream of a modernist utopia. Now, slums surround many of the geometric concrete surfaces and glass curtain walls...
Capturing the mellow vibes and laidback atmosphere of Hawaii that makes all Harvardians yearn for sunny beaches and spring break, Jack Johnson once again returns to the roots that have made him a perennial surfer favorite. Despite a clearly discernible continuity with his first five albums, “Sleep Through the Static” represents a greater awareness of world events and the modern, hectic lifestyle embodied in a somber tone and occasionally biting lyrics.

In the most heartbreaking match of the night, No. 2 DiSesa was up 2-0 against Bulldog sophomore Aaron Fuchs. But Fuchs rallied back in the third game and closely won 10-8. Fuchs then went...
...charge probably won't deter London's superrich from tooling down Park Lane in their Lamborghinis, and Johnson is right that affluent households may just add a brace of low-emissions cars to their private transport options. A small increase in traffic as people take advantage of the exemption is unlikely to worry the Mayor, whose main aim is to wean people off private cars and onto buses, tubes and bikes. He says the scheme will be monitored and the exemption repealed if "hordes of people with a malignant turn of mind rush out to buy [low-emissions] cars just...
