...more than 500 prints for Marimekko. She was able to mastermind an astonishing range, from the intricate and folkloric Ananas (1962)?which remains one of the most popular prints for the home market?to the radically simple, dramatically enlarged, asymmetrical Unikko poppy (1964), originally in red and in blue, which may be one of the most widely recognized prints on earth. "I think Unikko stood out immediately, and it somehow hit the world," says Isola's daughter Kristina, 62, a Marimekko design star in her own right. "Here, the blue-and-white version has come to stand even...
With his regal posture, searing blue eyes, perfect jawline and a baritone voice bred for noble declarations, Heston was the ideal vessel for Hollywood grandeur. In the 1950s and 60s, the era of the movie epic - those three-hour extravaganzas with a cast of thousands and the passionate enunciation of high ideals - he was the epic hero; it's almost impossible to imagine the genre without him.

Knowles’ father, like his father before him, was a professor at the University of Oxford.

Opening track “Blue Flower/Blue Flame” sticks firmly to strummy acoustic guitar. Piano and lazy steel guitar eventually drift in, but they never overwhelm Bejar’s poetry. “Introducing Angels” is perhaps the most simplistic song, but it’s also the most straightforwardly beautiful. The lines are literally punctuated...
...most basic level, Obama is telling Pennyslvanians what they don't want to hear, while Clinton tells them exactly what they want to hear. (In many ways their conflicting messages mirror John McCain and Mitt Romney's blue-collar jobs debate in the run-up to the Michigan primary earlier this year.) Then, in the next breath, the hedging starts. Obama informs his audiences that some jobs can certainly be brought back, while Clinton cautions that, of course, not all jobs can be recreated. From that point on, their riffs run parallel. The two support cutting subsidies to companies that...
