...Political activism is simply being done in a way for students to balance their concerns with their personal goals, looking towards their future," Epps says. "It doesn't mean that in that sense they are more conservative. Activism has simply changed in pattern from the ways that dominated the early '70s and late...
...museum's peculiar exterior is delusive. The deep bands of brick glazed in earth tones correspond to analagous bands of color inside, where they denote the building's five stories. What appears to be an irregular window pattern from the outside makes sense upon entering the building, since the windows are placed to give maximum illumination for the rooms behind them...
...foreign country. "The Zouaves, the brothels, the adorable little Arlésiennes going to their first Communion, the priest in his surplice, who looks like a dangerous rhinoceros, the people drinking absinthe, all seem to me creatures from another world."

The pattern repeats: she romanticizes his gifts, is disappointed, buys her way out of the affair. She enrolls at the Art Students League and, after years, when she finally musters the courage to show her best work to two friends who are professionals, is told the paintings are "nice." She asks for a drink, and gives...
