...even Bob Dylan. Where he weaved stories on an intricate but predictable meter, Newsom spins an ever-evolving sequence of rhyme schemes. In “Emily,” she paints an organic tale of a dying kingdom, and the swoop and pull of the orchestration (arranged by Van Dyke Parks) makes it sound like an apocalyptic dirge from another planet. “Monkey & Bear” is more in the vein of medieval balladry, its anthropomorphized title characters undertaking an epic journey with lute-like accompaniment. “Sawdust & Diamonds,” on the other...
...better this year, but the squad must improve their defense. Yale’s opponents shot 43.2 percent from the field and scored 13 more points per game than the Bulldogs. An experienced frontcourt is a plus, but Yale is still a few years away.Player to Watch: Jamie Van HornThe trigger-happy Van Horne is one of the best outside shooters in the Ivies.

...night before, where sales of Impressionist and modern art totaled $238 million, seemed to confirm that the market has reached another bubble phase. It's reminiscent of the bubble that inflated in the '80s, when dealmakers such as Australia's Alan Bond and yen jillionaires like Ryoei Saito chased Van Goghs to the stratosphere.

Today a new generation of hedge-fund billionaires and Chinese and Russian kleptocrats is part of an ocean of capital flowing into galleries and auction houses...
...cross country team seemed destined for mediocrity again, finishing last at the Heptagonals Championships for the third year in a row. What a difference two weeks makes. The Crimson stunned spectators, competitors, and coaches in racing to a fourth-place finish at the Regional Championship meet at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City this weekend. In fact, the only ones who weren’t stunned by the outcome were the Crimson runners themselves. “My expectations going into the race were to finish in the top five,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said...
...Suite Gothique. Brooks displayed talent well beyond that of many of the upperclassmen organists during this difficult piece. Carson Cooman, Memorial Church’s research associate in music, continued with “In Your Presence is Fullness of Joy,” by Patricia Van Ness. The less intricate piece served as a fine interlude between Brooks’s intense performance and the two final pieces.Joy-Leilani Garbutt from the Graduate School of Education played the second to last piece, a Louis Vierne Impromptu. This was another highlight, as Garbutt played through the difficult and diverse piece...
