...Crimson.“We’re not a dominant team,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said following the Penn game. “We’re a team that finds a way to win.” Contrast Harvard’s pattern with Yale’s steady improvement since its disappointing Ivy opener, a 17-14 loss to Cornell. The Bulldogs enter Cambridge on the heels of their two best victories of the year, a surprise 13-3 win over previously league-leading Brown and a decisive 14-0 shutout of Princeton last...
This cerebral formula turned out to be a recipe for irresistible eye candy. Draw 10,000 ten-inch lines, and you end up with a dynamic pattern of vector formations. A great LeWitt wall drawing may start like an algebra lesson, but it ends like a Renaissance fresco. Now you can see 105 of his drawings unfold themselves gorgeously across three floors of Mass MoCA, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, in North Adams, Mass. In a very unusual arrangement, "Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective" will remain on view there for at least 25 years. In effect...

...class of amphibious ships - blue-water buses - each of which carries 350 sailors and is responsible for ferrying 700 Marines and their gear to global hot spots. And the ship's sad plight represents in miniature all that is wrong with the way the Pentagon buys its weapons. The pattern of haste and waste accelerated in the Cold War's wake and simply exploded following 9/11. It highlights the challenge facing President-elect Barack Obama as he contemplates retooling an Industrial Age military - primed for state-on-state warfare - into the more agile force better suited for 21st century conflicts...
