...year is Republican to the core, but he is not conservative because of any fear of diversity, rather because he has certain opinions and is not afraid to hold to them. I find the sincerity of his views far more admirable than the earnest liberalism of many Democrats who bend over backward to show the world just how free thinking they are. Politically, we are opposites, but I believe that he is one of the finest people I have met in my first year at Harvard. --David Egan...
Reggae, like rap, has always carried within its grooves the roots of rebellion. Classics such as Bob Marley's War helped establish it as music for dance parties and political parties alike.

...terrorism against Israel. "There will always be fanatics," he said. ?What we expect is not 100 percent success but 100 percent effort. And we have not seen that." Mostly absent from this meticulous accounting was the settlement at Har Homa, the issue on which he likely will have to bend.

In Meireles' exhibition at the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art (his only U.S. venue), he presents the viewer with an open box containing two iron bars, one straight and one curved. The title of the work tells us they are "To be Bent with the Eyes." Beneath the bars, a graph paper background adds pseudo-scientific validity to the notion that over time our vision will exert some kind of material force on the art object. Here Meireles makes us his collaborator, and we can only wonder...
