...context in which art and fashion literally merged. Window dressers began to use actual works of art from emerging artists as the background to their displays. Fun fact: it was in show windows, not art museums, that artists such as Warhol and Jasper Johns first got the opportunity to present their works to a larger audience—alongside mannequins dressed in the latest styles, of course. For the average American, then, walking down the streets of New York was like walking through the MoMA. Pop Art’s legacy is made manifest in that five-dollar Hanes...
...together this struggle for suffrage with contemporary voter issues. Through reproductions of historical photographs and art by current Harvard students, “Casting the First Ballot” explores what it means to be a voter. “We wanted to make historical conversation between past and present,” says Andres Castro Samayoa ’10, the student curator of the exhibit.

In the last academic year there were a total of 81 disciplinary cases...
...agree that we need a new kind of government in Washington that breaks across party lines, right? That gets things done," Lieberman told a crowd in Peterborough, N.H., on Sunday night, wearing his "lucky" red sweater that he sported when he endorsed McCain last December. "I want to present myself immodestly as Exhibit A. I'm a Democrat, re-elected as an Independent, here to support the Republican candidate." And when Obama won, Lieberman struck a decidedly conciliatory tone in a statement: "Now that the election is over, it is time to put partisan considerations aside and come together...
