...this still leaves open the touchiest of all controversies: whether museums should ever acquire, either through purchases or as gifts, antiquities that have no clear record of how and when they came out of the ground. Some museum directors argue they should be able to take in the most important of these. To do otherwise would mean the object disappears into private hands, where it's denied to the public and to specialists for study. Cuno suggests the establishment of an outside advisory panel that could rule on whether an object is so significant that a museum could acquire...
Justin Fox asked if presidents matter when it comes to the economy [Feb. 18]. In Canada unemployment is at a record low, exports are in demand, and there is no hint of a subprime-mortgage crisis or recession.

Having missed the NCAA tournament last season with a disappointing 5-7 finish, Harvard is looking to get back on track, beginning its quest tomorrow in Loudonville, N.Y. against Siena (1-0) at 2 p.m.“Siena had a really good last weekend against Presbyterian...
Wrong. On Tuesday, the first day of early voting, election officials across the state reported a record turnout. In just one day in the state's 15 most populous counties, some 65,000-plus voters went to grocery stores and bank lobbies, rec centers and libraries to vote. Some images are startling: 1,000 Prairie View A&M students, a traditionally African-American college in a rural area west of Houston, marched seven miles to the nearest early voting station. And in a state requiring no party registration to cast a ballot, two out of three early voters...
