Subsequent discussion turned everywhere from the failure of designated dining hall and tutorial hours to accommodate practice schedules, to the concern of varsity sailor Margaret M. Wang ’09 that club—and certain varsity—sports are underfunded and athletes are often forced to reach into their own pockets to meet training costs...
...understanding has come about as much through pen, pencil and brush, as his new show of drawings at Sydney's Australian Galleries makes startlingly clear. Of his four trips to Baghdad, no event confounded Gittoes as much as the 2004 abduction of Irish-born CARE International worker Margaret Hassan. "She was a very smart woman, but she was also a lady in the old-fashioned sense," he recalls. "So that you'd arrive and she'd have a cup of tea for you in a beautiful porcelain cup."

In a delivery disastrously aimed at the hip-intellectual readership, Susan Cheever’s “American Bloomsbury” reduces Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau to a group of 19th Century Bennifers and Brangelinas. Cheever aims to make “Bloomsbury” a colorful yet historically accurate piece of literary criticism, and her ostensible desire to liberate her subjects from the stuffy realm of academia...
