...small gem, although the title From Caillebotte to Picasso is a little misleading. Only one Picasso and two Caillebottes are on display. The rest of the 85 paintings and sculptures, all from the Oscar Ghez collection at Geneva's Petit Palais, cover modern art between 1870 and 1950: Impressionists, Neo-Impressionists, Nabis, Fauves, Cubists and Surrealists. Many of the names are second-tier - Marie Bracquemond, Charles Angrand, Henri-Edmond Cross, Suzanne Valadon - but most of their works (especially Bazille's Family Reunion on the Méric Terrace and Gauguin's bronze bas-relief Three Breton Women) are first-rate...
...headlines have often been messy. Bush went after McBride for not apologizing enough for remarks made by a black minister who said the Bush family was "on a neo-Nazi right-wing mission." Even though McBride hadn't initially heard the remarks and condemned them as soon as he did, he wouldn't vow never to talk to the minister again. For his part, Jeb was embarrassed when a reporter caught him telling legislators that he had "juicy details" concerning the sexual orientation of the former caretakers for Rilya Wilson, the foster child who has been missing for 21 months...
...early '90s rap scene, in which LL hit his commercial stride, was the world's freakiest cocktail party. The liberal humanists of the Native Tongues mixed with the neo--black nationalists of Public Enemy and the ghetto-crime reporters of N.W.A. while LL Cool J flirted with the ladies and Bushwick Bill and M.C. Hammer kept things from getting too weighty. Some of these performers ran out of things to say; most were subsumed by the wave of gangsta culture that swept over rap in 1993. By the time Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggystyle became the first rap album...
...friends, make enemies and enhance their vocabularies. Legend has it that the game of anagrams was invented by those who yearned for a challenge greater than Scrabble, but it failed to garner the same popularity. It survives today wherever true enthusiasts feel compelled to pass the torch on to neo-nerds. Self-described “aging permutator” Daniel Bosch, an Expos preceptor and a former resident tutor of Dunster House, introduced the game to the House and soon found himself nurturing young anagram apprentices. One such apprentice, Adam M. Grant ’03, explains the game?...
...rightist government completed its fourth full month in office last week, it continues to shy away from many of the reforms it once promised to impose. Analysts have stopped counting all the contradictions, policy pirouettes and public climb-downs that have punctuated its brief reign. Raffarin and his neo-Gaullist boss?President Jacques Chirac?benefit from near-complete conservative domination of the French political system, but you wouldn't know it from their policies. That has led traditional allies like Seillière and other business leaders to lament the lost opportunity?a chance to slash away at a social...
