In 1961 David S. Ferriero wrote a brief letter to President John F. Kennedy inquiring about the proposed Peace Corps. Nearly a half-century later, Mr. Ferriero, now 64, had forgotten all about the letter until February, when a copy was presented to him—with a photograph—by Thomas J. Putnam, the director of the Kennedy Presidential Library. Mr. Ferriero’s letter was preserved with the president’s papers, which are among the 9 billion pages of records, 7.2 million maps, charts and architectural drawings; 20 million still photographs, 365,000 reels of film, 110,000 videotapes and millions of digital records and machine-readable data files now under Mr. Ferriero’s jurisdiction as the 10th archivist of the United States. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/arts/design/01archives.html

Islamic art and geometric design: activities from The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The word "transformation" refers to a movement or change in a geometric shape. If we slide a geometric shape to the right or left, this is called a "translation". We say that an object has symmetry, or is symmetrical, if the two sides are "of similar measure". See explanations and drawings at: http://mathforum.org/~sanders/mathart/MACch2sym.html

Q. Does the Senate need 60 or 67 votes to end a filibuster?
A. Spokeswoman Garrette Silverman responded for Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio:
"Since 1975, three-fifths of the Senate, or 60 votes, has been required to bring a bill up for a vote. After cloture has been invoked, no more than 30 hours of debate may occur before the legislation is voted on." "A two-thirds majority, or 67 votes, is still needed in a few rare instances, however. These include overriding a presidential veto, passing a treaty, and changing the rules of the Senate."

“Skin Fruit: Selections from the Dakis Joannou Collection” is the first exhibition in the United States of the Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection, renowned as one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world. This is also the first exhibition curated by artist Jeff Koons, who was invited to organize the show by the New Museum and whose work inspired Joannou to start his collection in 1985. Including over 100 works by fifty international artists spanning several generations, the exhibition explores the age-old preoccupation with the human body as a vessel and vehicle for experience, a distinctive focus of the collection. With the exhibition “Skin Fruit,” the New Museum launches The Imaginary Museum, a new exhibition series that will periodically showcase leading private collections of contemporary art from around the world, providing the opportunity for rarely seen, great works of art to be accessible to a broader public. The New Museum is located at 335 Bowery in New York. Phone: 212.219.1222
The exhibit will run through June 6, 2010.
