MEMORIES OF MIDNIGHT, by Sidney Sheldon (Morrow; 399 pages; $21.95), is one of a large and growing subgenre of evil-Greek-shipowner thrillers. Nasty fellows, those fictional Greek shipowners. This one, rich and loathsome Constantin Demiris, has arranged that his unfaithful mistress and her lover, Demiris' pilot, be executed for the supposed murder of the pilot's wife, beautiful, trusting American Catherine Alexander. But he is still angry, and he strides about his villa like Richard III, gloating in a long, italic aside about what he is going to do to Catherine, who lost her memory during a boat explosion...
...counts, born of long reflection on the past. He was a child of the museum, which is why this posthumous show seems so much like a homecoming. He was steeped in a great tradition of which the exemplars were, in poetry, Stephane Mallarme; in painting, Henri Matisse; in sculpture, Constantin Brancusi. Wilmarth was a man of wide visual curiosity, but of all modernist movements the one that interested him most was symbolism, which reached its height around 1890 under Mallarme's leadership and which, through its effect on Matisse and others, lay at the very root of 20th century...

David J. Moews '89, Bjorn M. Poonen '89 and Jeremy A. Kahn '91 placed in the top five, beating more than 2000 other students from 360 colleges in the United States and Canada. Poonen and Moews, along with Constantin S. Teleman '90, pulled Harvard ahead of Princeton and Rice to win the team competition...
...scholarly energy has gone into displaying the continuities between 19th and 20th century art and correcting the myth that the modern art that mattered represented a wrenching break with the past. Without the culture of the salon and the Academy, no Matisse; you cannot imagine a work like Constantin Brancusi's Caryatid, 1940, without its triple root in the peasant woodcarvings of the artist's native Rumania, his study of African sculpture and his passion for the archaic Mediterranean...
