...combination of things," says Stern. "First, the professional heckler, who feels empowered to spend the entire game directing his attention to disturbing the other team at any decibel level, at any vocabulary. Then, an ongoing permissiveness that runs the gamut from college kids who don't wear shirts and paint their faces and think that liberates them to say anything, to NBA fans who use language that is not suitable to family occasions...
There’s a new painting up in the modern and contemporary gallery of the Fogg. Or perhaps “painting” is too strong a word. The 2001 work, Dorian Gray by the American artist Martin Kline, at first glance looks remarkably like a gigantic black mud splat. Kline used encaustic, a pasty wax-based paint, to make this work, and the result is a highly textured oval mound of pigment, roughly the shape and convexity of a shield, that juts forward close to three inches from the center of the board.

Where the two tones met, the knobby protrusions of paint had a dark top and lighter bottom as if they had been carefully shaded to emphasize their three-dimensionality, and this lent the piece a shimmering, optical quality that presented an intruiging and suprisingly subtle contrast to the fugus-like materiality of the paint itself...

While missing only one of six attempts from the line, Cserny sank only four of 13 in the paint and was unsuccessful in all three of her three-point tries. However, it was a mental, not physical, affliction to which Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith attributed Reka’s uncharacteristic performance...
