...device, The Dinner Party has a long life ahead of it too. For generations of schoolkids it will offer a first encounter with the honor roll of women's history. Who can argue with that? With luck, some of those kids will go on to discover O'Keeffe, Agnes Martin and Sally Mann. Or Kara Walker, Janet Cardiff and Kiki Smith. There are some names in there you don't know? Look them up on the Internet. You can bet a few smart kids will. That's how they'll find out how much more...

Despite the fact that the Lowell bells have become a part of Harvard’s rich history, their sound marking such events as Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, commencement morning, and even Harvard’s football victories over Yale, we must recognize that their history in Moscow, before they arrived in Cambridge, was just as colorful. For both monks and believers in Russia, these bells are an integral part...
