...starting to get interested in the story. You see, I had recently competed in a local swim meet where I had captured the 100 decibel "Don't splash water on me" competition and placed in the 200 I.M. (Impervious Manner) event in which the competitor must pretend she is asleep despite her mother yelling at her to do 200 things. But I knew Big League swimming was different and although a meet sponsored by Seventeen Magazine conjured visions of young girls trying to get into a pair of designer jeans while doing the backstroke, I realized there was more...
...grand tradition of Broadway and Hollywood, the Kennedy School of Government brought Harvard a bit of the old sparkle and a splash of the spot light this year. Using the glamorous Institute of Politics (IOP) Forum, a three-story atrium smack in the middle of the K-School structure, as his stage, Nicholas Mitropoulos, assistant director of the IOP, orchestrated a gala revue of presidential candidates, prominent journalists, and other luminaries.

Although the paintings--the majority of which are drawn from the two books--dazzle at 50 paces, they don't quite have the flash of recent popular exhibitions. The Persian miniatures lack the lustrous, overpowering gold of Tut, the intricate bejeweled splash of the Sythian gold, or the chic of just-released objects of Chinese archeology. If anything, the exhibit's origin--Iran--work against its success. But "Wonders of the Age," like its proprietor, is not your average exhibit...
