...exhibits will obviously impress different groups of people. And it is perhaps not entirely fair to compare two such different mediums from two such dissimilar cultures. Nevertheless it is interesting to consider the means by which an Eskimo and a Russian who emigrated to Paris in 1910 both manage to evoke the spirit of their milieus. The Arctic sculptures convey much of the vastness and harshness of life near the Poke and were carved almost instinctively. Chagall has depicted busy, crowded, complex European scenes and yet his inspiration seems likewise instinctual. Both collections illustrate folk traditions stretching back beyond memories...
DADDY WARBUCKS KNEW how to play the game, Just let anybody mess around with his little orphan, Annie--Asian smuuglers, Russian spies out to topple the free world, mad opthamologists aiming to give her a pupil transplant--and the fun would start.

...somewhat ironic that Keenan the academic should find himself engrossed in the trials and tribulations of the academic market. It is a market with which Keenan has never known any problems. The specialist in medieval Russian history was given the unofficial nod for a tenured appointment in 1968, at the tender age of 33, only two years after he received his Ph.D., and joined the Harvard faculty...
