...community. The Moynihan report was leaked to the press during his tenure as U.S. assistant secretary of labor, prompting an uproar because of its claims that the “tangled pathology” and fragmented structure of black families led to high poverty rates among urban blacks. The three-day conference, “The Moynihan Report Revisited: Lessons and Reflections After Four Decades,” began yesterday by addressing the report’s consequences and assessing the current condition of black families. The event was jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Political and Social Science...
...sure what to hang on your walls? Get your eye in focus with a three-day course on the art of owning art. Sotheby's Institute of Art in London, an independent spinoff of the famous auction house, combines lectures and field trips to contemporary art fairs to train would-be Saatchis in collection building, gallery economics, art investment and the growing role of art fairs themselves.

...pilgrimage, Pope Benedict XVI insisted, not a political outing. The pontiff's just-completed stay in Austria was built around a visit to Mariazell, an 850-year-old shrine to Mary in the foothills of the Alps, just over two hours south of Vienna. And though Benedict used his three-day trip to touch on some familiar hot-button issues both inside and outside his Church - abortion, euthanasia, the so-called "de-Christianization" of Europe - he did so in a context and spirit that matched the humble "just-a-pilgrimage" billing he announced just before takeoff from Rome on Friday...
