...idea of a "more social art" has little to do with social realism. But he is the last history painter, and his enterprise is to see history through the lens of other media-books, photos, snatches from film and similar "raw" sources-combined in a kind of painted collage, the visual equivalent of spinning the radio dial and hearing snatches of different broadcasts on different wavelengths punctuated by silence and bursts of static. The work responds to an edgy sensibility: Europe of the '20s and '30s, and Northern Europe at that, the dictators' playground. When the Mediterranean...
...roll-back in rents for all University tenants, and a commitment by Harvard not to destroy housing units in the Med Area and at the Kennedy School site--were set forth. But proposals for an immediate building occupation were three times rejected. Later on, the University administration attempted to paint the sudden decision of 300 students to take over University Hall, ejecting Deans Ford, Glimp and several others along the way, as the actions of a small minority that went against the wishes of most students.

The chief issue: charges of racism by Dartmouth's black students and other minorities, who hurled black and red paint at the traditional Winter Carnival Ice Sculpture. "Without tearing something up or hurting someone," said Black Student Leader Donald O'Bannon, "it was the most dramatic thing we could...
...last thing a man wants to find in his porn. Yet some form of this failure figures in nearly all Nin's tales. A typical situation involves a husband who places his new wife so high on a pedestal that he cannot reach her to make love. Artists paint nude models instead of possessing them. Though these repeated male shortcomings may constitute a kind of sexual revenge, they also lend Nin's stories a plausibility missing in most erotica...
