Once this temporary exhibition closes, many of its works will find their way onto the walls of the Prado's original Villanueva building; now that the main galleries no longer have to house traveling shows, there's more room to show works that have tended to languish in storage. "In 1819, the museum had a gallery of contemporary drawings where Goya's work was on display," says Zugaza. "The museum's founders thought that the collection would keep extending, but our chronic problem with insufficient space prevented that. Now, we have the opportunity to stretch to our full range...
...best way to avoid the fate of sellers who watch their property languish (the average sell time is eight to 10 weeks) is to hit the field with a bang; the house should look sharp (fresh paint, fresh flowers) and be priced to move.

Nearly 150,000 nursing jobs languish unfilled today in the U.S. (We've already lured over every nurse that Ireland and the Philippines had to offer, and now we're recruiting in sub-Saharan Africa.) And these are good-paying jobs. There's a doctor shortage too - and those jobs pay even more...
...instructors can only advise two or three theses. Only English concentrators with a GPA of 3.4 or higher are allowed to apply, and generally those who have taken creative courses are the only ones who stand a chance. Applicants submit proposals in the February of their junior year and languish for a month before finding out if they got in. Even the most talented students may not have their proposal accepted. Tracy K. Smith ’00 recalls an uneasy interview for her creative thesis proposal. “I just had one of those jarring moments where...
