...city strutter in Robbins. Formal, clear and well structured, it is his strongest work in years. It begins with 33 dancers, dressed in multicolored practice clothes, walking briskly across the stage, each alone, no two taking precisely the same route. This traffic is directed by Glass's galvanizing Rubric: loud, brash music, pulsing like a motor. One could never join this crowd of pedestrians; anyone who has ever tried to move across a major artery, or even a busy sidewalk, in an alien capital knows how hard it is to catch the rhythm. Yet a series of three couples...
...trans-avant-garde." This clot of art jargon, like "post-modernism," means nothing definable. It merely points to a mood of eclectic revivalism, the assumption being that since progress in art is a myth, painting must perforce go crabwise, with many nostalgic glances backward. Under such a vague rubric, Chia looks a very apposite painter.

Under the broad rubric of Women's Studies, that scholarship has both produced new knowledge and revised our understanding of established information and modes of thought Scholars have tapped neglected resources that reveal women's experiences, and have brought to the forefront often forgotten texts and other cultural products by women. The scholarly interest...
...machine methods," since these tactics are by definition only used by those in power. Comparing the recent unprecedentd registration drive among the inner city's politically silent majority to altering registration lists, as The Crimson does, is nothing less than offensive. Legal registration seems to fall more under the rubric of "democratic process" than of "tactics...strictly of the old-fashioned machine type." The people of Chicago did not vote for Washington because they were "infirmed" (sic) or guided to the voting booth by precinct captains...
