...stone, iconic architect Frank Gehry's first-ever jewelry collection for Tiffany draws on his childhood memories as well as structural elements from his renowned buildings. The Torque cuffs, below, are modeled on his signature curved and twisted lines. Gehry says that for him jewelry was not a big leap of imagination: "The impulse is always the same?to discover new forms that have a natural flow and a relevance to contemporary life...
...Wilson cut who lives on the top floor of a three-family building, he'd leaned over his balcony rail to tell me it wasn't safe and that I should come up.

Harvard’s new ranking—second in the nation out of over 600 college teams—marks a surge in recent years. “Four years ago we were unranked in the top 200 programs, so we have made a pretty monumental leap,” Goodkin said. Despite its performance, Harvard’s Mock Trial team may not be able to compete next year due to lack of funding. Private alumni donations will be discontinued this coming fall, and the team is dependent on those gifts because it has been denied funding...
