...first time since 1929, provide the show with a spectacular centerpiece, and a welcome breath of outdoor air. The show will remain in Paris until Jan. 5, before moving to London's Royal Academy of Arts from Jan. 31-April 18. Botticelli, from Lorenzo the Magnificent to Savonarola (Oct. 1-Feb. 22) assembles 20 Botticelli paintings and six drawings, plus a dozen works by contemporaries like Filippo Lippi and Piero di Cosimo, all working during the late 15th century, when Florence blossomed in the humanist atmosphere of the Medici court before being swallowed up by the fire-and-brimstone fervor...
...show’s two characters, Ruth Pinkerstien (Lauren M. Winkler ’01) and Jack Savonarola (Tim B. Urban ’04), are thirty-somethings living in New York City, going about their lives and enjoying being in love with one another. The play takes place entirely within the space of one day in the confines of Ruth’s bedroom. Her birthday is the catalyst that prompts them to take a long hard look at their relationship, plagued with difficulties, and come to terms with their future. Ruth is a conservative Jewish girl who hopes...
...cigar-puffing capitalists at a lunch speech: "There isn't a lady in the room. All men...ready for the kill." They hiss and shout, "'Wrong!' 'Bull____!' 'Go back to Harvard."' Great stuff, but it never happened, according to tapes and transcripts dug up by Rauch. Saxton was less Savonarola than Mister Rogers; the hearing was dull, even for C-SPAN. The lunch was breakfast, the room nonsmoking and nonhissing, and a third of the audience was women. Reich responds that transcripts couldn't reflect the hostility he felt. Who does he think he is--the President...
While Brown hectored voters like Savonarola about the corrupt political system in Washington, Clinton worked two key blocs of Democratic primary voters -- blacks and Jews. At the end of last week he held a 2-to-1 lead over Brown with both groups. Clinton stands to benefit among Jews, who constitute about 30% of the Democratic primary vote, from Brown's offer to Jackson to be his running mate (an offer Jackson has coyly avoided accepting thus far). Brown felt the heat when he addressed the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York two days after Clinton had received...
...Western thought embodied in American life, some multiculturalists claim that this Eurocentric bias discriminates against those from different traditions. But for openers, Eurocentric is decidedly a fuzzy term, lumping together a vast diversity of nationalities and peoples, past and present. In what person or doctrine can Eurocentrism be embodied? Savonarola? Jane Austen? Deism? Communism? Insofar as it means anything specific, Eurocentric looks suspiciously like a code word for "white." In attempting to combat racism, radical multiculturalists seem all too willing to resort to racism of another stripe...
