...between realism and caricature. What it lacks in experimentation it makes up for in clarity. Robinson keeps the layouts interestingly varied but always readable, and even occasionally does some stretching with scenes like the swirling panels of characters and events that culminate the climactic chapter. In another nice graphical touch, the lettering accompanying Steve's story becomes increasingly unsteady as he descends into the depths of paranoid schizophrenia. Personally I wish Tricked had more of such clever design elements. It seems something of a missed opportunity that all the story lines look the same...
...program is to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world by bringing back experienced practitioners, like Heineman, to relate their experiences. “One of Harvard’s unfortunate problems is that we do not do a very good job of addressing issues that touch on many domains,” Wilkins said. “One of the great advantages of having someone like Heineman here is that we have a chance to further the initiatives of [University President Lawrence H.] Summers and [Law School Dean Elena] Kagan, to better understand interdisciplinary subjects, in this...
...report on the new decor of the White House closed with the comment that in the President's private family quarters a ''less inviting, don't-touch tidiness'' might soon be ''remedied by time, wear and Socks'' ((THE WHITE HOUSE, Dec. 6)).

But eventually [AIDS] came to touch everybody somehow.”So shaken by the past, Hollinghurst unsurprisingly chose the 80s to inform both the setting and the tone of “The Line of Beauty”. But, he insists, his next project could go anywhere. He doubts a return to poetry...
...biggest constants in West’s career as an academic is this devoted student following. Students who have heard him speak are enamored with his dynamic lectures, and many of them stay in touch with the professor well after their final exam is over. A three-week advance booking is recommended to land an appointment during his office hours, students say, although he has been known to hold them from anywhere between five to 12 hours at a time. Despite his over-booked schedule, West remains as friendly and approachable as Jia-Rui Chong ’99 remembers...
