...When it comes to human endeavor, of course, there is no such thing as permanence - something the exhibition poignantly illustrates. Even under the care of the world's best curators, the paint on some of the icons has begun to chip. Cormack says an embossed icon of St. Michael and several ivories from St. Mark's Basilica in Venice are so fragile they will probably never be allowed to travel again. Even Yeats' beloved mechanical nightingales are long gone; we know of them only through accounts from their time...
...Waite misrepresents the character of these two individuals by taking each one of their quotes completely out of context. For example, attempting to paint Dr. Counter as anti-German for opposing the screening of a film that had graphic depictions of clitoridectomies performed on young girls, a concern shared by the Black Students Association and Stephen Williams, Peabody Professor of American Archaeology and Ethnology. Never in his Black Collegian article does he say or imply that any racial groups are “mooching off” of “affirmative action benefits,” he explicitly credits...

Two glowing alien women appear toward the end and begin to gyrate against each other. The final shot...
...some veterans of Arizona politics paint a more complicated picture of McCain than as just a crusader against corruption. They talk of bullying and intimidation, of meetings when he banged the table so hard they feared it would split. In one case, recalls former Arizona Senator Dennis DeConcini, when he refused to fire an aide who had annoyed McCain, "to put it politely, he told me that I could go do something with myself." DeConcini, a Democrat, says that "in my eight years with him, I learned that John just hates it when you disagree with him. If you press...
...that McCain has made it any easier for himself. Over the weekend, the Republican nominee convened an economic strategy session after last week's attempt to paint Democrat Barack Obama as a pal of terrorists largely fizzled. But nothing new came out of the event. And so what was billed as the candidate's big relaunching was, in terms of substance, a collection of things McCain has been saying already - but this time said in a really gloomy, harrowing...
