...fight for disestablishment, remember that the first battle must be fought side-by-side. All students must look towards the administration for a better and more equitable system. The only feasible, affordable way for students to acquire usable common space is with some help from Harvard. Hard to swallow though it may be, all students need to align towards achieving the most valuable common goal: finding alternate areas that every Harvard student (male and female) can enjoy together...
...read Mehta's book, by chance, a few weeks ago in Rio de Janeiro, where 700 favelas, or officially designated slums, spread across the hillsides and seem ready to mud-slide down and swallow up the Sheraton hotel and the condo blocks beneath them. According to one Brazilian friend, 400,000 people arrive at the city's bus station every year, seeking a new life, only to find that all the jobs and houses?and lives?have been taken up by others like themselves. They can survive only by joining the underworld, and a child is seen as irresponsible...
...Bush was very interesting and, in many ways, revealing in its display of the great differences in political thinking on the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The President's unwavering trust in his mission (well, in himself) and his uncompromising use of power is difficult for Europeans to swallow.

...zoom into the future. We are at the 2005 Venice Biennale, perhaps in the midst of another heatwave, and fan-toting crowds are looking for some air-conditioned art to soothe their nerves. It's hard to think of a cooler prospect than Ricky Swallow in the Australian pavilion, which will open to the public in mid June. Curator Charlotte Day envisages "a contemplative, slower experience that takes time to look at and engage with," and Swallow is already hard at work on two new pieces - including a Medusa-inspired bike helmet filled with writhing snakes - to join...
...masterwork from one of contemporary art's most arresting time travelers. In a zippy new monograph on the artist to be published next week (Thames & Hudson; 112 pages), Justin Paton likens Swallow to a hobby-shop Proust. "There's a sense in which Ricky's career looks less and less like a linear progression from one object to the next," says the curator of contemporary art at New Zealand's Dunedin Public Art Gallery. "It's much more like some circle of time, because he's always monkeying with chronology in interesting ways...
