...overcrowding extends beyond Wigglesworth J and K entries, where the exiled sophomores have been granted shelter. Several houses face crowded situations within the house as well. University officials point to an unusually low attrition rate, which means fewer students than usual are taking time off. We sympathize with the difficult task Harvard housing officials have of predicting the behavior of not-so-predictable undergraduates...
Paris is famous as the city of l'amour. It is less well known as a historic center of refugees and terrorism. For at least 200 years, the French have taken pride in providing shelter for those of political passion from other lands. Indeed, it might be easier to make a list of 20th century revolutionaries who never lived in Paris than of those who did. China's Chou En-lai came in 1920, some 70 years after Karl Marx left Paris for London and eight years after a young Russian revolutionary named Vladimir Ilyich Lenin moved from Paris...
...just about anything that barks, meows, whinnies or quacks. The most recent additions to the First Couple's ranch menagerie are three kittens that Caretakers Courtney Trisler and Barney Barnett found wandering outside a Santa Barbara, Calif., supermarket last month. Confident that the Reagans would be happy to shelter the unfortunate felines, Trisler and Barnett toted them up the mountain. Nancy welcomed the cats and, after consulting with the President, named them Cleo, Sara and Morris -- "because he looks like Morris" the TV star, she explained...
...cramped, cold and dangerous darkness to hew at rock -- was transcended in Moore's work as a man: still cutting stone, but in the light, and in the soothing precinct of his mother's remembered body. What anxiety was to Giacometti or sexual rage to Picasso, nurture and shelter were to Moore. His commitment to sculpture as an act of hollowing, modeling and smoothing the "body" of a single mass ran counter to the pattern of 20th century sculpture, which was to construct from disparate parts a shape that did not need to be felt with the hands...
...formal keys to unlock it. Where other art was concerned, Moore (like his lifelong friend and patron Kenneth Clark, who arranged for him to be an official war artist in World War II and was thus partly responsible for the sculptor's best-known early work, the underground-shelter drawings) was a great looker and rememberer. Certain works were fundamental to his art. A stone carving of the Mexican rain-god Chacmool gave him the crankshaft rhythm of shoulders, waist, pelvis and thighs that would surface in his own figures from the late '20s on. Cezanne's ponderous and sculptural...
