This is not the only new work in Venice this year to extract some poetry from the archaic or mythic past. There are, for instance, the canvases of Christopher Lebrun, a young Englishman whose thickly mortared landscapes featuring cypresses, caverns and the winged horse Pegasus have a Böcklin-like drama that is not wholly the result of judicious quotation. But quotation does rule. This Biennale has more plaster casts in it than the cellar of a Viennese art academy: the abused relics of antiquity dragged back as conceptual décor for a dying art tradition...
...notoriously hard-bargaining committee managed to extract truckloads of money and merchandise. M & M/Mars donated $5 million and sweetened the deal with 500,000 Snickers bars and 500,000 bags of M & Ms candies. Levi Strauss will put clothes on all 700 U.S. athletes and coaches plus some 40,000 staffers at the Games, from Ueberroth down to the parking-lot attendants. IBM has lent 200 of its Personal Computers and 190 word processors, among other gear...
...goal of my current research is to extract the generic qualities of analytical thinking--a skill which can then be applied to any of hundreds of intellectual tasks.

Certainly Lionel residents have taken an unusual route through Harvard, but Gary's question remains: whether we were strange when we came in, or did we become strange. Looking at the time off taken by Lionel residents provides just one indication that, as Mary says, "more people in Lionel struggled with more aspects of their Harvard experience" than otherwise seems to be the norm. It is not just the sheer number of Lionel people who decided to take time...
...right to bring suit does not guarantee a trial victory, but Hishon will now be able to extract evidence from King & Spalding on how and why it decided against her. The firm, whose most prominent partner is former Attorney General Griffin Bell and whose client list is topped by Coca Cola, appears to be an almost retrograde archetype of the white, male-dominated, large urban law office. It is described by anonymous former associates as a "Southern gentleman's club," and last year it reportedly suggested that its female summer associates enter an office wet-T-shirt contest (bathing...
