Within the party, ActBlue’s central aim is not to help big-name candidates like the presidential contenders, it’s about getting the word out for the lesser-known Democrats with strong, innovative ideas. Much of the $43 million has gone to the campaigns of people such as Daniel K. Biss ’98, who is running for state representative from Chicago’s affluent and liberal north suburbs...

To combat high emissions, Massachusetts’s Senate bill requires that gasification emissions match those of natural gas. What looks like a step in the right direction remains problematic: Ultimately...
...will run through July 27, 2008. It showcases dozens of works from the 23 years of the reign of Philip III, a period that was bookended on either side by the careers of renowned Spanish painters El Greco and Diego Velázquez. The exhibit also features several lesser-known artists, obscure even in Spain, who worked in the Spanish court and collectively bridge the gap between El Greco’s late career and Velázquez’s emergence as a painter. “El Greco to Velázquez” is a concentrated slice...
