...department is also growing in both size and scope. While the department is currently searching for specialists in the field of visual art, DuBois Professor of History and of Afro-American Studies Nathan Huggins, who came to Harvard in 1980, stresses the irreduceable importance of history and literature in Afro-American studies, both of which the department offers several courses...
...saturation with time as it survives through the ages. These two elements cannot be separated. Consider a medieval edifice like the Amiens Cathedral. If it were sandblasted to its original surface, the building would be out of keeping with the surrounding medieval structures and would emerge as a distasteful visual anachronism. A close examination of your color illustrations reveals that the Sistine Chapel's uncleaned surfaces have a warmth of spirit that is absent in the cleaned areas. The vitality of the "old" Michelangelo is absent in the bland, dispirited imagery that has emerged...

Borrowing a leaf from Hollywood's special-effects book (and in some cases hiring Hollywood technicians), they are converting their data into video form. Because the human brain is exquisitely adept at picking up visual cues, scientists have begun benefiting from what Robert Langridge of the University of California at San Francisco calls "computer-aided insights." Says Langridge, who uses 3-D graphics to model biological molecules: "Computer graphics gives us a window into what is going on, rather than just a scientific result...
