...deeper understanding of Akio's lively intelligence, his enormous grasp of world affairs and his wide-ranging knowledge of art. He had a profound commitment to international cooperation from his years as a young man in the U.S. during the difficult postwar period. It is Akio's wisdom, his candor about issues that truly matter and his great warmth and humanity that I will greatly miss...
...faith strikes me as tenable. Duchamp's artwork and Mapplethorpe's photography are not so much frontal attacks on another's worldview as independent assertions of other, potentially conflicting visions. Where conflicts of such a nature arise, Aristotle's advice to rely on democracy as the distiller of wisdom greater than that possessed by any single individual might perhaps be heeded. But democracy should not be able to marshal public funding in those cases of work either intended to, or reasonably construed as, desecrating the symbolic moorings of another's historical and cosmic identity. Mad props to Giuliani for recognizing...
...Inebria soaks through this here issue. In "Behind the Curtain with the Krokodiloes," Harvard's oldest a capella troupe reveals a few drinking habits of their own (see page 8).

The Teamsters (evidently, a presidential photo-op doesn?t hold the charm it once did) and the United Auto Workers both dissented, calling Sweeney?s dictum "a sod job" and citing southern-fried wisdom about weighing one?s pig before wrapping it. Which hardly means they were Bradley backers ? just that they wanted to soak Gore for a few more concessions before climbing aboard. In fact, what impressed Branegan was how quietly ?- and quickly ? the rest of the AFL-CIO went along. "It seems...
...year-old from Austin, Texas, whose recently published book has already gone to No. 4 on Amazon.com's best-seller list, is unable to speak and barely able to move, having been born with a still undiagnosed illness. He composed the poems and thoughts in Kiss of God: The Wisdom of a Silent Child by tapping on a primitive letter board. Ball's tenaciously loving parents read him literature and played him music from the time he was still an infant; by age 9, he was testing at a 12th-grade reading level. Particularly partial to Tolstoy, Ball offers musings...
