...both. In You Majored in What? Mapping Your Path from Chaos to Career (Viking; $25.95), Katharine Brooks, Ed.D., points out that the way we usually approach career-planning is logical and linear - i.e., "I majored in political science, so I'll go to law school," or "I studied history, so I'll be a history teacher." With the economy in shambles, though, what seems straightforward to students (or their parents) may not be. Searching out other less obvious options, always a smart strategy, matters more now than ever. Brooks borrows from mathematical chaos theory to help new grads...
...space. “Transparency, reflection, shadow, and light are all central to [the piece].” Directly across from this sculpture, an enormous charcoal-on-paper piece utilizes traditional sketching and shadowing techniques to capture the versatility of human movement within the artistic confines of a linear plane. A few steps down the corridor reveal equally fascinating creations, from faces with penetrating expressions illuminated against silkscreen backdrops to eight colorful digital animations looping on a video projector. One of the standouts is “Do Rivers” by David L. Rice ’10?...

...always do; they can be both slack and slapdash. Most critics love Clint the auteur, and there's plenty to admire, but his directorial style is in danger of being as overrated as his acting is underrated. He's a fine director when he connects with the linear clarity of a simple story--which is why the teeming narratives of Mystic River and Changeling don't work quite so well as straight-ahead fables like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino. The latter movies have one other advantage: the director is also the star...
Frank Gehry has been labeled the architect of our day, but recently his influence is being felt outside the museums and libraries with which he made his name. Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, which opened its doors in 2003, finds its beauty in playing with linear and curved planes, blurring the line between art and function. The fashion and design pieces inspired by his work are attempting the same feat. They are also broadening Gehry's place in the cultural lexicon in time for his 80th birthday early next year. Roger Vivier's faceted evening clutch and Louis Vuitton...
