Says she: "If a boy had said that 20 years ago, people would have assumed that his mother was a secretary." Today Mom may be an executive...
...paper studies of the sky, circa 1850, with clouds that are variously stormy, striated, menacing and, rarely, light and fluffy. Boudin, then in his mid-20s, painted them outdoors, with rapid brushstrokes, and sometimes recorded the date, time and wind conditions on the back.

Your story about the exhibition of Ralph Lauren's vintage autos [Feb. 28] referred to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts' loan of 21 Monets to "the gallery at Steve Wynn's Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas." You said Wynn paid the museum a "reported $1 million" in exchange for the loan of the Monets. Wynn sold the Bellagio in 2000 and today has no connection to it or to the Monet exhibition, a collaboration between our gallery and the Boston Museum that required significant investment of time and money on both parts...
