...world-renowned art historian. His fame comes from incredible intelligence as well as uncanny incoherence and a remarkable ability to invent words. You’ll also meet professor Neil Levine, who last year taught the core course, Lit and Arts B-34, “Frank Lloyd Wright and the Modern City and Suburb.” Professor Levine is exceptionally anal about letting his students out exactly on time, which is great, and almost begins to make up for his extreme outbursts of anger at the innocent slide projector man whenever the images are out of focus. Because...
...death, asks who stands to gain from the fanning of obesity fears, and questions the value of hounding populations to lose weight. "In general, we just don't know what the long-term consequences of rising obesity are going to be," says N.S.W. academic Michael Gard, coauthor with Jan Wright of The Obesity Epidemic: Science Morality and Ideology (2005). "But is it the looming, drop-everything health catastrophe that we're told it is? We say no." One thing highlighted by the obesity issue is how far apart the pronouncements of parts of the scientific community and the gut feelings...

Perhaps they see that, given the health challenges that currently face different parts of the world, describing entire Western populations as sick seems...
...design as powerful as this can be a problem as a setting for art. The big question hanging over Libeskind's irregular galleries is whether they will overwhelm the art--the eternal accusation against the mighty rotunda of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan. As it turns out, for a good deal of modern and contemporary art, Libeskind's careening lines provide a perfect force field, a reminder of the dynamic rethinking of space that was behind so much of modern art to begin with. Naturally, Cubist work looks right at home here. Likewise the angular channels...
...explosion of religious-oriented travel? Three factors, says Wright, who is the author of three travel guides for the faithful. The first, he says, is simple demographics: "In the last census, there were 8 million more people identified as Christians than a decade ago." Second, is the broader boom in international travel. According to Wright, 45% more Americans are traveling overseas today than 10 years ago. Third, says Wright, "people of faith increasingly want a personal experience of their faith...
