...Free craftsmen, not convicts, sculpted the celebrated terracotta warriors and horses guarding Qin Shihuangdi's vast underground necropolis. But as Barbieri-Low debunks, they were not the master artists they are sometimes trumpeted to be. Many were just journeymen, working on component parts upon which they inscribed their names not as Monet-like signatures but as part of quality-control procedures. The names worked as premodern barcodes. Shoddy platters, censers, stone carvings and so on could be traced back to the workshop that produced them, and the artisans could be punished accordingly.

Not only are we pleased to see Harvard and its students benefiting from this new bill, but Patrick and the state legislature should be lauded for continuing to make science and technology a priority in the Commonwealth. As long as biomedical research remains a crucial scientific avenue, the government of Massachusetts should...
...satisfied with the clunky, unconvincing symbolism.But while the apparent eagerness of the actors was admirable, the choreography of their collective movement topped off at approximately elementary school Christmas pageant quality. Some of the actors even came off as smug: during a dramatic tribute to political detainees, one actor grinned upon flubbing a line.Paradise boiled down to a jejune rant against commercialism. It was in Dante’s Purgatory that the play became overtly politically charged. In Hell, a series of perplexing, abstract torture sequences involving puppets and the reading of an interrogation log served to honor the prisoners...
