Those willing to venture past the flashier Degas show currently at the Sackler museum will have the pleasure of discovering “Forging the New,” the less extensive but no-less-rewarding exhibit currently on display. Despite the subtitle “East Asian Painting in the Twentieth Century,” the show itself is a broader survey of all kinds of art from China, Japan, and Korea.

Fishkin is elated. "The public is smart," he says. "Under the right conditions, it's smart in China just like it's smart in Britain or smart in Bulgaria...
...several days, I went out of my way to notice all the young women who I used to overlook for their flashier or louder or more immediately fascinating colleagues. My findings were less than promising. That girl in my section really is obnoxious. That girl in my lab doesn’t have any sense of humor. That girl in my student group isn’t all that smart. What’s a poor, lovestruck boy to do? Veronica Mars has failed...
