Autumn, like so many other things, is a tradition at Harvard. Each year when October whistles through the Yard and along the River, when the nostalgia for the summer past is replaced by the excitement of football weekends, when undergraduates begin to think about women and parietal hours and changing traditions, the Masters retire to their respective catacombs and wait for it all to pass...

Her smoothly involuted forms look like Moore's women without the womanliness; they are more like analytical geometry than like people. More powerful are the forged iron abstractions of Italy's Francesco Somaini, at 33 a newcomer to the big time, who won the prize for the best foreign sculptor. Rough, inelegant for an Italian, Somaini produces work resembling meteorites and mountains, full of energy...
