...roughly chronological installation shows how LeWitt's work evolved over the years. Some drawings from the late '60s and early '70s are black pencil lines transecting penciled grids, things so delicate they seem to weigh little more than the thoughts they began as. Again and again, LeWitt introduced a human factor into what could otherwise have been a mechanical process. His instructions might call for one person to draw an irregular line and for others to attempt to imitate it. Early on, he brought color into the mix to produce agitated chromatic force fields. And in the '80s, after...
...Paper and pencil. That's how nearly every other Western democracy does it. It's easy, simple. You put whatever mark you want in the box next to your candidate's name, fold it over and put it in the ballot box. When the polls close, the box is opened, the ballots dumped out on a table for everyone to see, with poll watchers from each party present. And federal elections should be run by the Federal Government. That's how they do it in Canada. Elections Canada is the name of the federal agency. They use all local people...
...dapper and impractical for everyday wear. That is not to say that Harvard students are all about form over function; Barbour jackets offer quail pockets that are useful for storing the dead pheasant one may find on his way to class, and they make for handy and spacious pencil cases, too.

These days, the closest contact with gold I have is the sprinkling of edible gold leaf on my chocolate molten cake from Finale. So I wonder: with pencil, not dirt pick, in hand, are jeans a relic of the past? A bold assertion, followed by a question, that raises doubts about my sanity, I realize. But allow me to qualify my statement. I like boyfriend jeans. I like your boyfriend’s jeans. But I don?...
...things got easier. Italian suddenly clicked. I could eye my vanilla gelato to see how much longer it needed in the mixer and judge the doneness of my frittata by its firmness. After slicing watermelon every morning for breakfast, I could wield a knife as deftly as a pencil. I could give porcini mushrooms a sponge bath with my eyes closed. I knew the recipe for egg pasta by heart and they counted on me to make the daily batch of dough. By the end of my stay, my ankles were swollen, my forearms were burnt, and I couldn?...
