...they let critics show off their taste and theatrical erudition: doling out ritual praise to the classics of the canon, comparing and contrasting the new production with the Definitive 1975 Version That I Saw But You Didn't. And they give stars a chance to demonstrate their acting chops, stretch their talents - and, of course, keep working...
...Nazis considered his art "degenerate" and there were rumors that he was Jewish. Klee's visualization of the inhumanity of Nazi rule shows that, in contrast to common misconceptions, not everything he created carried the illusion of cheerfulness.

Were we going to see a repeat of two years ago where the atrocious officiating cost Harvard the game?Let me qualify this with the fact that I don’t by any stretch of the imagination believe that the Crimson played well before the break. Giving up 118 yards rushing and two touchdowns to a single guy in one half is not exactly what we’d call dominating the competition, but the Tigers were surely helped by a lack of consistency...
