...Primakov was pedestrian, and he hadn't done much in the way of reform, but he was predictable," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge. "The response of the market is the initial feeling of the panic at the void of the unknown opening up in front of them." Primakov had just secured a $4.5 billion stopgap loan from the IMF; that will have to be renegotiated, as will Russia's aid arrangements with the World Bank. Now that the Russian parliament is bracing for another round of reject-the-nominee and Moscow leadership is a vacuum once more...
...Pounds of fertilizer, small mountains of earth, gallons upon gallons of water and absurd quantities of labor are channelled into Yard lawncare throughout the semester. But to what end? Why does Harvard choose to spend unknown sums of money compromising aesthetics and limiting student A-to-B point options? Seemingly, they do so to create a billion-bladed carpet of velvety green stretching from Widener to Memorial Church and away on all sides, realized just in time to be crushed irreparably by the thousands of bodies standing, sitting or milling excitedly about on it during the Class Day ceremonies...

After seeing The Script Doctor, a short film made for just $150 by the Fields brothers, a Cleveland, Ohio, threesome who worked in their father's wedding-video business, the company hired them to develop Student Affairs. And New York independent filmmaker Noah Baumbach, 29, got a telephone call from Imagine inviting him to pitch TV ideas similar to his chatty, cerebral film comedies (one, Kicking and Screaming, was about a group of guys who graduate from college but won't leave). Baumbach came...
...very early panel depicting a tonsured, hollow-cheeked and rather minatory St. Francis, holding a cross and an open New Testament and exhibiting the stigmata on his hands and feet, standing ramrod-straight and flanked by four scenes of his posthumous miracles. It was done by an unknown artist, either an Italian or a Byzantine Greek, in the second third of the 13th century. It looks stiff and archaic, yet the painter has infused a remarkable energy into some of its details, such as the calligraphic loops on the blue robe of a madwoman from whose mouth an exorcised devil...
