...time, I was anxiously excited about the sudden helping of free time. After all, this same Ivy Council had determined that the Ivy League’s athletes also needed seven weeks off from conditioning and training during the off-season. Clearly, this seven-week period was the perfect length in which to try to experience the “Harvard” I had missed. After all, if the men’s hockey team was going to forgo ice time and a chance to keep in shape during the off-season so they could all try to join...
...late publishing legend Katharine Graham. Sulzberger, 51, is scion of the family that has run the Times since 1896. The two minded their manners at last week's dinner, offering jokes "about that IHT stuff," as Sulzberger put it, and chatting amiably and at length even when the evening's agenda didn't require that they be together.

...display the show's 115 paintings and drawings in chronological order, Spaniards first, French second: often, several galleries separate the paintings the show intends to compare. But it's worth the back-and-forth legwork to see such superb pairings as Velázquez's 1636-37 full-length portrait of the actor Pablo de Valladolid with Manet's 1865-66 The Tragic Actor, Portrait of Rouvi?re in the role of Hamlet. With 40 paintings and drawings, Manet dominates the show, but the five Velázquez portraits alone are worth the long lines out front. Constable, the Choice...
