...early years of the 19th century were a time of tremendous creativity for Goya, and the full range of his talent is on display in this show. His modernity is evident not only in his dark depictions of human irrationality, but in his psychologically acute portraits. From his warm, intimate portrayal of Spanish King Charles IV and his family, to the petulant knowingness of the young Marchioness de Montehermoso, to the vague disappointment of the slightly mustachioed Doña Juana Galarza, who clutches a crumpled fan in her sausage-like fingers, Goya captured the individuality of his sitters, regardless...

It’s a warm day in Cambridge, the first in a while, and the sun coming in through the window shines off his endearingly bald head. “The Hair of the Man,” a poem celebrating the joys of baldness, decorates the wooden door to his corner office on the 14th floor of William James.

Brown's joint press conference with Bush at Camp David last July was a study in embarrassment, as Bush's homespun joviality bounced off the dark-suited, buttoned...
...coming to ignore them outright. Finally, we participate in and endorse a culture of stark and impenetrable walls. But there is very little in reality dividing Macleod and me. I cannot forget that, for the most part, it is only happenstance that entitles me and my classmates to the warm quiet of the library and damns him to the cold. This revelation followed fast on the heels of the arrest I observed back in March. I couldn’t help but silently apologize for being afraid of the ‘trespasser’, for hesitating before I shook...
