...that chilly day in October, the Irish lost to USC, 34-27. The team subsequently lost four of its last six games, including to non-football powers Navy and Connecticut. Clausen was sucker-punched by an irate fan last week, and the star quarterback and his best receiver, Golden Tate, are expected to bolt for the NFL, forgoing their senior year...
...Sanford Biggers, the 2009 Marshall S. Cogan Visiting Artist, says of his most recent exhibition which opens in Memorial Hall today. An imaginative artist who experiments in many types of media, Biggers’ innovative and bizarre work has been shown in museums around the world, including the Tate Modern in London and the Whitney in New York. His 2007 piece, “Blossom,” is a 15-foot tall reconstruction of a tree whose trunk penetrates and supports a life-size piano; this oddity is characteristic of Biggers’ large installation pieces, which have touched...
...into believing that he was the second coming of Christ--and that the way to bring about a new social order was to commit mass murder and frame blacks, which would ignite an apocalyptic race war he called Helter Skelter.

But, he notes, the U.K.'s Protection of Children Act might come into play. "The key tests would be whether the child is posed provocatively, whether there was an element of lewdness...
...with the consent of Shields' mother, is by New York-based photographer Garry Gross. Gross told the Daily Telegraph he was disappointed that the photo was taken down and did not consider it pornographic, though "she was supposed to look like a sexy woman." The image removed from the Tate is actually a photo of that photo: in 1983, artist Richard Prince took a photograph of Gross's original photo, framed it, and titled it Spiritual America. And though it hasn't been censored before, it's not the first time it has stirred controversy. As an adult, Shield went...
