...ruling prohibits expansion of available commuter parking from 1973 levels. While that decision affected all communities, its effect has been particularly noticeable in Cambridge, a city that, according to Parking Commissioner George Teso, has more linear feet of cars than of streets...
...result, Kossoff's work went naturally against the grain. A figurative painter when abstract art was the rage, he sinned by embracing premature neoexpressionism back in the '50s and '60s. When painting was required to be thin, linear and efflorescent, Kossoff stuck to delving into the images and people around him and the memories within. His scenes of public baths, markets and Underground entrances are packed with small figures, stuck in their social matrix as though in jam (especially given Kossoff's dense pigment) -- a pictorial equivalent, as it were, of the double meaning of the Hebrew word olam, which...
...work aims at defining a vaporous but crucial notion, the modern sensibility.

...anyone for the cost of a personal computer -- from $2,000 to $5,000. He spoke movingly of creating low-cost "learning environments," in which university students, using computer simulations, would have access to the world's most advanced technologies. "You'd offer a physics student a personal linear accelerator or a ride on a train going the speed of light," he told a group of educators in 1986. "You'd take a biochemistry student and let him experiment in a $5 million DNA wet lab. You'd send a student of 17th century history back to the time...
