...relief sculpture and contemporary portrait medallions, some of which are also on view. In early likenesses by Pisanello, Pollaiuolo and Uccello, the subject is seen in strict profile. This gives her remoteness: she doesn't look back at you or acknowledge your gaze in any way. She is on display in all her finery, in scarlet velvet or cloth of gold, in brocade and pearls--an icon of marital success and faithfulness. (The catalog has an excellent essay by Roberta Landini and Mary Bulgarella on the arcane intricacies of status and ladies' fashion in 15th century Florence.) Her existence...

Around any turn a posse of hungry villagers or unpaid soldiers could wait with Kalashnikovs. Harried peasants live almost exactly as they did 500 years ago - beggared, illiterate, and isolated, hidden in fortress-like compounds with lookout towers and gun slits.

Short-term political “fixes” that help to blunt the worst effects of Harvard’s employment...
...Huskies cut the deficit to 64-62 on a third-chance layup with 21 seconds left, but the Crimson played out the remainder of the game to perfection. In an impressive display of keep-away, Peljto, Tubridy, sophomore Dirkje Dunham and freshman center Reka Cserny cycled the ball around the perimeter as the Huskies tried in vain to foul. Dunham was finally caught, but not before 19 seconds had run off the clock. Her two free throws iced the game...
