...simply that both were created by Edgar Degas during a trip to Italy in the 1850s.“He reused the same pose,” Wolohojian explains. The proud posture of Degas’ young cousin Giulia Bellelli is the exact mirror of the disdainfully regal pose of the woman in the Renaissance portrait. Wolohjian hopes visitors will see these sorts of connections as they explore the exhibit, on display at the Sackler Museum now through Nov. 27. Unlike Wolohojian, who currently teaches History of Art and Architecture 171w: “Edgar Degas...
That's quite a leap in the booze business, but Pernod Ricard is no stranger to the power of consolidation. It turned sales around for Chivas Regal and Martell, up 9% and 7%, respectively, since acquiring Seagram in 2001. The degree of difficulty is greater now though, since Allied Domecq's brands and distribution channels are comparatively stronger than Seagram's were.

As a result, the biggest chains are reeling. Market leader Regal Entertainment Group's stock is off 10% this year, and poor results have pushed rivals AMC Entertainment and Loews Cineplex Entertainment into a merger...
...expensive I, Claudius than a work of HBO iconoclasm. The visuals are staggering--you see every penny spent--but cosmetic changes aside, it does not rethink its genre as, say, Deadwood did the western. At heart, it is largely a history-book story with familiar themes, enacted by regal men with British accents. One has to wonder what HBO would have had if it had let Deadwood creator David Milch do the more unusual series he once proposed: a drama about ancient Roman city cops...
