...leans her head on Mary's shoulder-her face ugly with grief. His massive fresco, The Last Judgment, on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, was completed in 1541. Michelangelo painted no more after 1550, working instead on sculpture and architecture-he was now chief architect to St. Peter's in Rome. In his final years his drawing technique became more hesitant and misty. He used a lifetime spent studying the human body to express ideas about its fragility, capacity for suffering and inevitable dissolution. The last three works in the show, isolated in an area of their...
...that the movie doesn't contain seeds of its own parody. Peter Barsocchini's script is so aware of its cliches, they almost become endearing. It sets up a dialectic of extremes. Troy's pal Chad (Corbin Bleu) proudly voices the philistine argument: "The music in these shows isn't rock or rap or anything essential..." and "They've got you thinking about show tunes when we've got a basketball game next week."

Harris introduced an amendment that would, among other things, delete seven words from the secondary fields legislation, Professor of German Peter J. Burgard pushed for an “amendment to the amendment” that would delete an additional four words. The question boiled down to whether the legislation should specify the extent to which students will be able to fulfill Core requirements or a language citation with some...
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—With little more than $30,000 and a few second-hand cars, two Harvard juniors headed down to Atlanta, Ga. during the summer of 1965. Crimson editors Ellen Lake ’66 and Peter Cummings ’66 had been to Mississippi the year before to register new black voters, but this time, they headed south not to scout out the disenfranchised, but to report on them...
