...distinguishing features of Native American art is its lack of duplication. She said that the artists she works with do not even usually like to make earrings because it forces them to create two identical pieces. Bailey said that many Native Americans believe that nothing in nature is perfect, a sentiment that is reflected in their heterogeneous art. Bailey sells a “nice” piece of art for an average of $320 to $500, but prices at the exhibit ranged from $7.00 to several thousand dollars, depending on their workmanship.

EASTON, Penn—Lafayette coach Frank Tavani summed up Saturday’s game well when he said that Harvard “played perfect against us.” Everything was working perfectly for the Crimson squad.

...instead of leaving the characters in uncertainty, it simply leaves them.Whatever the resonance of the ending, the main action is of little value. Roth’s dry style lends itself well to the book’s first few pages, running breezily through Marcus’s perfect life as the perfect son. But as Marcus’s father moves into the background and his anxiety comes to the foreground, each new face is rendered with less and less detail. Characters of significance to the novel exist only insofar as Marcus can remember them (read: barely); Roth instead...
