Spanning back to his youth, the exhibit showcases some 500 drawings and sketches (most kept for years in unopened boxes and cupboards), more than 130 photographs, and 35 paintings, like the watercolor Rain (2005), above. From cheeky doodles in pencil and pen and complex geometric shapes on matchbook covers, to black-and-white photographs of abandoned factories and digitally reworked 19th and 20th century nudes, a portrait emerges of a man fascinated by the emotional response to the physical world and the human form. The exhibit seems to have given Lynch a creative jolt as well (not that he needed...
After a wintry mix of snow, slush and rain froze over on the night of Valentine’s Day, Harvard students faced the dangerous challenge of walking to and from class on roads and sidewalks covered in ice. Harvard’s Facilities Maintenance Organization (FMO) was prepared for the dangers the weather would bring—stockpiling salt, sand, and ice-melt, as well as activating all on-hand personnel and hiring emergency contract workers from outside its ranks. According to Yard Operations Associate Director of Residential Operations Zachary M. Gingo ’98, 65 people worked...
...almost seems crass to rain on this self-righteous congratulatory parade, but, if unionization results in higher wages and benefits, where is the money coming from?

We want to start a children's group and would like you to participate! The meeting spot was a playground in Cologne's Chorweiler district, whose high-rise blocks became home to many of the migrants that the Ford Motor Co. recruited into Germany in the '70s. Of Chorweiler's 80,000 residents, 60% have immigrant backgrounds and a third are on welfare. Lale...
...least as Cusk portrays it in her novel. The children are, if not an additional curse, no compensation. There are no light scenes in which to draw breath and recover from the blows that Cusk delivers. Even the passages describing the town are clouded by a grey fog and rain that reminds readers of the wretchedness of home and suburbia. “Arlington Park” is a book without hope. Not only do Cusk’s characters suffer, but they make no efforts to change or improve their situations. Cusk offers harsh discouragement to every member...
