Second, one wonders whether he could adapt his theories of the Affluent Society sufficiently to mollify the abusive Harvard Society of Masochists. One hopes so: imagine Galbraith, immaculately tailored, swinging his walking stick against the hardwood, cursing at Jack Rohan's Columbian technocrats. "Gallagher," he might say, "you must maximize your scoring output without University...
...boar hunt of Louis Malet, Sire de Graville and Grand Admiral of France. The golden Flagellation, done around 1350, shows the medieval struggle with the problems of perspective, while the exquisite Crucifixion, painted nearly a century later by an artisan in the workshop of the master of the Rohan Hours, has a deep landscape background with towns in the distance...

Her punishment was to be stripped naked in public, beaten with rods, branded on both shoulders and then imprisoned for life. But probably with official connivance, the countess escaped from jail. She traveled to England (where her husband, with or without Rohan's knowledge, seemed to have...
