"Well-meaning patrons may disturb my routine." By 1914, however, the spotlight had shifted from post-impressionism to the angry, angular new vision of fauves and cubists. Vuillard stopped exhibiting and retreated into nearly three decades of private work. Only in 1938, two years before his death, did he break his self-imposed withdrawal and consent to a large Paris exhibition...

She first drew U.S. viewers' notice as Sidney Poitier's admiring...

Investigating the angular size of a quasar, a pigtailed, 24-year-old Irish graduate student named Jocelyn Bell noticed some strange, pulsating signals that were "so weak they were hard to pinpoint." Working in excited-secrecy, a Mullard Observatory team led by Astronomer Anthony Hewish began an intensive analysis of the pulsations...
