...case, the Head of the Charles Regatta Committee and the Metropolitan District Committee maintain a staunch no-drinking policy on the banks and the river. Three hundred police members will be on hand to confiscate or destroy any alcohol...
...years has there been a major Degas retrospective, and probably never again will so many of his drawings, paintings, prints and sculptures be assembled in one place at one time as in the huge show of more than 300 works that opens this week at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Never mind the crowds and souvenir selling. This retrospective superbly presents Degas as the exemplary realist, an artist who was an engine for looking, a being whose destiny was to study La Comedie Humaine...
