...since then she has been in lockdown, either lashed to McCain's side to boost the size of his crowds, or hunkered down in debate prep and remedial candidate school. No press conferences, few interviews, no questions allowed from the reporters traveling with her, no appearances on The View to stare down Joy Behar. Rather than playing to her strengths as a fresh face in an unendurably long campaign, they hid her away in a kind of conspicuous vote of no-confidence - which, one can only imagine, took a toll on her.

...renovations, the museum staff and curators have been busy planning and executing the installation of the new semi-permanent exhibit that will showcase pieces from the collections of the Sackler, the Busch-Reisinger, and the Fogg while the 32 Quincy Street building is under construction. “Re-View,” the current Sackler show, is the first time that so many works from the different Harvard museums have been shown together, representing a small step towards the integration of the museums the renovated Quincy Street building will someday boast. The hope is that...
