...Nevertheless, this new endowment for a science building should raise humanities students' eyebrows. The Life Sciences Building and the Genomics Research Center are only the newest additions to a growing list of newly-built science and technology facilities. They join the Maxwell-Dworkin lab and the Naito Chemistry Laboratory as recent gifts from philanthropic donors in business. Humanities and social science departments have had only limited success attracting large donations. The renovation of the Barker Center was a much-needed step, but humanities departments are still scattered all across campus. And there is money set aside for the Knafel Center...
...large-scale outdoor sculpture. The campus's bland "prison-like" facades and vast open spaces screamed potential to Tucker. He desired to raise Boston's profile in the world of contemporary art while renewing public appreciation for the challenges and beauties of modern sculpture.

Replete with standout tracks that reflect the quintet's maturation since Millennium, Black and Blue not only confirms the perennial hit-producing magic of Max Martin and Rami, the principal songwriter-producers behind the Boys, but also marks the fruits of Nick, Brian, A.J., Kevin and Howie...
...Lilith Fair. The only track that deviates far enough from the norm is BT's "Never Gonna Come Back Down," which was also featured on the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack. This fast-paced Crystal Method-esque track stands in stark contrast to the languorous vocals of the other songs. Nevertheless, a few stand out: the aforementioned Dido, Beth Orton's "Central Reservation" and Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" demonstrate that from such a bland soundtrack, a few well-constructed songs do stand out. However, most of the rest, even the offers from Sarah McLachlan ("Silence...
