...five-month stretch in 1949-50, Manny was employed as Time's Cinema critic. After The Nation and The New Republic, a Time stint meant a sharp raise in pay (he was hired at an annual salary of $8,500, a hefty sum back then) but a likely loss in status among the intellectuals whose favor he craved. He may have thought his work for the magazine was beneath his standard; Negative Space includes no Time reviews.

...sedated with violent entertainment. (Wait, this isn't futurism; it's a Daily Kos blog.)

(Guess who tops the annual U.S. News and World Report list this year?) But the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) on Aug. 21 released its own ratings of American colleges and universities - based not on selectivity, but on greenness. The results are a bit surprising. For all the attention that environmental causes have garnered over the past several years, the NWF found that sustainability-related education offered on campuses stayed steady between...
...streets of London are lined with architectural gems: futuristic towers, quirky homes, historic façades. But behind their doors is an inner beauty that few get to see - except for one weekend a year. On Sept. 20 and 21, London holds its annual Open House, when hundreds of the city's most exciting buildings - many usually closed to the public - invite you to step inside (www.openhouse.org.uk). Here are four places worth a peek...
