Museum professionals have counterarguments. Some places--think of the Met, the Louvre or the National Gallery in London--are "universal museums," worth cherishing precisely because they permanently display the works of many cultures side by side. Neil MacGregor is the director of the British Museum, founded in 1753 as the first and now one of the greatest of those. "The idea," he says, "of having in one building things from the whole world, there for free, is just as important now as it was 250 years...
...Green used a 6-1 stretch to open a 26-17 lead before locking up the 30-21 victory on a Harvard error. Dartmouth jumped to an early 5-1 lead in game three following two kills from Morgan Covington and a pair of aces by Megan MacGregor. The Big Green really broke it open on Katie Hirsch’s serve, stretching the lead from 12-6 to 19-6. A series of Dartmouth errors and point-for-point interchanges allowed the Crimson to cut the lead to four, 25-21. But with the score...

Says Robert MacGregor, management-development chief at IBM, which recently partnered with Young to start training its 330,000 workers around the globe: "We want to create an environment that's open and inviting to all employees." And it's not just the words he's using but the earnest tone in his voice that show he means...
...When the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art rises King Kong?like next year, Macgregor's museum will lose its title as the country's largest exhibitor of contemporary art, though it will perhaps remain the edgiest. (Indeed, it's hard to think of another local institution gutsy enough to take on Ed Kienholz's sex-and-violence-splattered junkshop assemblages, as the MCA will do in December.) Wandering around its modest new permanent collection space, one senses a cultural flowering just as important as any glassy cathedral to contemporary art. Here the fiberglass manta ray and skater-boy video...
