More than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | January 13, 2014

Jay Cutler signed a contract in early January with the Chicago Bears, guaranteeing him around $126 million over the next seven years. Seven years! The quarterback will be in his late 30s when the contract expires, much older than many of his teammates and competitors. Clearly the Bears want him so badly, despite his lackluster performance this season, that they are willing to pledge this salary for years to come, even with so many unknowns — possible injuries, the promise of new talent and effects of his aging.

By Jasper Bingham | January 12, 2014

Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig does not look like someone who would advocate for an uprising. Thin and bespectacled, he carries no weapons.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | January 12, 2014

Last week, the Legends issued a New Year’s proclamation (way more intense than any old resolution) that 2014 would be a year of victory for the Legends. We would put fall term’s near-losses behind us and think only about our future as the premier intramural champions on this campus — or at least the only ones who take the time to write about it each week.

By Macy Ferguson | January 12, 2014

The women’s ice hockey team tore up the ice this weekend with a fierce 5-4 win over Yale University and a 3-3 tie with Brown University. Both games were very physical, with 19 combined penalties. The chippy play led to two back-and-forth contests with a total of six lead changes. The games were crucial for the Big Green women (4-12-1, 3-7-1 ECAC), who vaulted to ninth in the ECAC standings, just two points behind the Bulldogs (6-10-1, 4-5-1 ECAC) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (8-11-12, 4-5-1 ECAC), now just on place from playoff position.

At 100, Armory Show is still debated

By Michaela Ledoux | January 12, 2014

Just over 100 years ago, the Armory Show of 1913 brought European avant-garde art to the forefront of American attention. Two thirds of the show’s art was by American artists, but the other third, by Europeans like Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp, caused a scandal. \nMichael Maglaras’s “The Great Confusion: The 1913 Armory Show” (2013) was screened at the Hood Museum’s Loew Auditorium on Jan. 10 and brought the drama of the original show back to life. In his film, Maglaras, kept from attending the screening by inclement weather, masterfully captures a unique moment in art history and successfully positions it among greater trends in American society at the time.

Perhaps this is why critics and architects jumped to their feet when the Museum of Modern Art recently announced last Wednesday that it would raze the American Folk Art Museum in New York City.
