...Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, the publishing conglomerate, is the oldest (eight months) and most specialized. The weekly drops names aplenty in a gossipy column called Inadmissible, but its first concern is keeping tabs on the capital's regulatory maze and the revolving door that spins lawyers between the public and private sectors. "We like to think we are helping lawyers in their work," says Managing Editor David Beckwith, 36, a lawyer and former TIME law writer. "The other publications are into national trends and lighter stuff." Legal Times 'circulation is small (currently 3,500) but the price...
...that debate did little to resolve the issues at hand, which was not surprising, since the conflict between free speech and perceived pornography is one of the great civil libertarian conundrums of our time. Those in the skin trade take full advantage of the public confusion, Chan among them. Even as the Crimson debated, Chan placed an ad in the Boston Globe and was himself profiled in the paper's Living section. "I got censored. I felt very sad about that," he told the Globe ingenuously.

That hardly makes the community a rival to, say, Chicago. Yet almost everything...
...tightly curated theme shows in museums, or in artists' retrospectives. Lately, however, some virtues of the 19th century salon system−for until the rise of the private dealer in contemporary art after 1900, the salon was the main meeting point between new art and a wide public in Europe−have become apparent.
