...heart, a movie about movies--a whirlwind graduate course in pulp-film culture. Vol. 2 also boasts some scenes that will have cultists attaching mental footnotes: flicked references to John Ford's The Searchers and the Jackie Chan--Michelle Yeoh Supercop, as well as a rehabilitation of Pei Mei, a.k.a. White Eyebrow, a villainous character from '70s Hong Kong action films. Here he's a stern but endearing teacher (played with majestic comic brio by the legendary Gordon Liu). You'll also make the Kung Fu connection. That was the '70s TV series that made Carradine a star...
...PROJECT REVIEW committee now studying I.M. Pei's Library plans should consider the benefits the Kennedy Library will bring to Cambridge residents as well as the very real problems in the plans. Parking must be provided either on-site or off-site if Cambridge is to avoid becoming an impenetrable morass of cars; adequate commercial frontage must be provided for visitor services.

Pei's pyramid at the Louvre (1989). "Nothing is stopping them from making nice things," insists Fabrice Piault, head of an activist neighborhood organization in the 13th arrondissement, where office buildings are filling in the space around the four 79-m towers of the François Mitterrand Library...
...fields. While MIT is justly proud of its fifteen sons and daughters who are now Nobel Laureates, I doubt even Kavulla himself would say that William R. Hewlett MIT SM ’36 (of Hewlett Packard Co.), Benjamin Netanyahu, MIT Class of 1975 (former Israeli Prime Minister), I.M. Pei, MIT Class of 1940 (architect of Boston’s John Hancock Tower among other things), and Tom and Ray Magliozzi, of MIT Classes 1958 and 1972 respectively, (better known as Click and Clack of NPR’s “Car Talk”) have kept their...
