...chanting, “in-Hale, ex-Hale.” Creative and devilish. So devilish.Then, in 1984, Maryland’s Herman Veal was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student. In the game at Cameron Indoor, the Blue Devil women collectively threw 1000 pairs of panties onto the court while yelling a collection of cheers I can’t print—although I’d love to. And Duke isn’t even a big school. It’s a private college known more, like Harvard, for its academics then its sports...
Anna Deavere Smith walked onto the Loeb Mainstage, sat down on a wooden bench, and stated, “We’re going to go hunting for grace.” “Let Me Down Easy,” which was conceived, written, and performed by Smith and will run at the American Repertory Theatre through Saturday, is indeed a hunt: we travel from her Maryland hometown to Harvard to Rwanda to New Orleans, searching for affirmation that humans really aren’t that bad and finding at the end that the stories that persist with...

While these men are undoubtably the blue chip artists...
...Bing called “Book From the Sky” or “Book From Heaven.” In one of the first examples of installation art in China, Xu created volumes of scrolls containing approximately 4,000 invented Chinese characters, which were then hand-cut onto wooden print blocks. Each character appears to the viewer as if a real word, with Chinese visitors to the installation noting that their first impression of the project was that many of the characters were simply written incorrectly...
