Leonard Barkan: Michelangelo: A Life on Paper
Posted February 2, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Comparative literature professor Leonard Barkan talks about words and sketches on Michelangelo's drawings. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
Leonard Barkan: I've written a book about a
different Michelangelo.
It's still the same guy.
Michelangelo Buonarotti: Florentine architect,
painter, sculptor, poet.
But, it's not the
Michelangelo who produced things like the
"David," the "Moses," the Sistine ceiling.
It's the Michelangelo who produced things
for his eyes only.
So, the book, which is
called, "Michelangelo: A Life on Paper," is
about that life. It's really about his interior
life. The things that
he put together when his mind was wandering
and his hand was wandering, and words popped
into his head or drawings seeped out of his pen.
He did all kinds of different
things on the same sheets of paper:
Memos to self,
lists for foods and expenditures and moneys...
all mixed in with drawings that range from
doodles to sublime figure
sketches. But the other thing we have, is
that we have some intense, private, passionate remarks.
On this sheet he writes, "Lavoglia invoglia e
poi lascia la doglia" (Desire engenders desire
and then leaves pain). And next to it, he
writes, "Death is the end of a dark prison."
But in the midst of this, he has contracts,
he has angry statements and he also draws
a large, rather ungainly hand,
and two very long, extended bodies.
We have these sheets with completely incongruous
and unrelated fragments on them. And for me
these sheets of paper, with their quite bizarre
and mysterious mixtures of words and images,
are very very much like dreams. Really, the
kind of dream that Freud analyzed in which
there are strange, unexpected juxtapositions.
Juxtapositions that if you look carefully,
and think carefully about the whole life of
the subject (whether that's a subject on an
analytic couch or a subject who is reclining
as he paints the Sistine ceiling), if you look
carefully at these mysterious, seemingly disconnected
utterances, you have a sense of what Freud
would call Michelangelo's unconscious.

|In 1959, three years before independence from Belgium, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus, overthrew the ruling Tutsi king. Over the next several years, thousands of Tutsis were killed, and some 150,000 driven into exile in neighboring countries. The children of these exiles later formed a rebel group, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and began a civil war in 1990. The war, along with several political and economic upheavals, exacerbated ethnic tensions, culminating in April 1994 in a state-orchestrated genocide, in which Rwandans killed up to a million of their fellow citizens, including approximately three-quarters of the Tutsi population. The genocide ended later that same year when the predominantly Tutsi RPF, operating out of Uganda and northern Rwanda, defeated the national army and Hutu militias, and established an RPF-led government of national unity. Approximately 2 million Hutu refugees - many fearing Tutsi retribution - fled to neighboring Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, and former Zaire. Since then, most of the refugees have returned to Rwanda, but several thousand remained in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, the former Zaire) and formed an extremist insurgency bent on retaking Rwanda, much as the RPF did in 1990. Rwanda held its first local elections in 1999 and its first post-genocide presidential and legislative elections in 2003. Rwanda in 2009 staged a joint military operation with the Congolese Army in DRC to rout out the Hutu extremist insurgency there, and Kigali and Kinshasa restored diplomatic relations. Rwanda also joined the Commonwealth in late 2009. In January 2013, Rwanda assumed a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2013-14 term.

Rwanda is a poor rural country with about 90% of the population engaged in (mainly subsistence) agriculture and some mineral and agro-processing. Tourism, minerals, coffee and tea are Rwanda's main sources of foreign exchange. Minerals exports declined 40% in 2009-10 due to the global economic downturn. The 1994 genocide decimated Rwanda's fragile economic base, severely impoverished the population, particularly women, and temporarily stalled the country's ability to attract private and external investment. However, Rwanda has made substantial progress in stabilizing and rehabilitating its economy to pre-1994 levels. GDP has rebounded with an average annual growth of 7%-8% since 2003 and inflation has been reduced to single digits. Nonetheless, a significant percent of the population still live below the official poverty line. Despite Rwanda's fertile ecosystem, food production often does not keep pace with demand, requiring food imports. Rwanda continues to receive substantial aid money and obtained IMF-World Bank Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative debt relief in 2005-06. In recognition of Rwanda's successful management of its macro economy, in 2010, the IMF graduated Rwanda to a Policy Support Instrument (PSI). Rwanda also received a Millennium Challenge Threshold Program in 2008. Africa's most densely populated country is trying to overcome the limitations of its small, landlocked economy by leveraging regional trade. Rwanda joined the East African Community and is aligning its budget, trade, and immigration policies with its regional partners. The government has embraced an expansionary fiscal policy to reduce poverty by improving education, infrastructure, and foreign and domestic investment and pursuing market-oriented reforms. Energy shortages, instability in neighboring states, and lack of adequate transportation linkages to other countries continue to handicap private sector growth. The Rwandan Government is seeking to become regional leader in information and communication technologies. In 2010, Rwanda neared completion of the first modern Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Kigali. The SEZ seeks to attract investment in all sectors, but specifically in agribusiness, information and communications technologies, trade and logistics, mining, and construction. The global downturn hurt export demand and tourism, but economic growth has recovered, driven in large part by the services sector, but inflation has grown. On the back of this growth, government is gradually ending its fiscal stimulus policy while protecting aid to the poor.

Christie: New Jersey must sustain fiscal discipline
Posted May 20, 2011; 10:30 p.m.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, in an address at Princeton University on Friday, May 20, championed the need for continued fiscal discipline and tough leadership choices in order to bring the state back to strong financial footing.
"We had a decade under both political parties where there was no sense of responsibility for what was being passed in the legislature, so there was no sense of how we were going to pay for it," Christie said. "The overriding sentiment in state government was that if it's a good idea we'll pass it and figure out how to pay for it later."
Christie speaks at Princeton University on Friday, May 20, stressing the need for the state to maintain strict fiscal discipline and difficult leadership choices.
The address, which was sponsored by Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Center for Economic Policy Studies, drew an audience of Princeton students, scholars and other campus community members, as well as members of the public. In introducing Christie, Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman cited his swift rise into the national political limelight since his inauguration in January 2010 as the 55th governor of New Jersey.
"The New York Times has described him as 'one of the most intriguing political figures in America,' and Time has named him one of the 100 'most influential people in the world,'" Tilghman said. "New Jerseyans have called him many things as well, depending on their point of view, but whether Governor Christie is perceived as a breath of fresh air or a gale force wind, the depth of his attachment to our state and his commitment to reforming its public sector is indisputable."
Princeton students and other members of the audience listen to Christie's speech.
Christie spoke passionately when addressing New Jersey's high tax rates, stating that more than $70 billion in wealth left the state between 2004 and 2008, fleeing to states such as Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania, all of which "have lower taxes than the state of New Jersey."
"Money was not being treated well in the state of New Jersey," Christie said. "And so money left."
The governor also referenced his 2 percent property tax cap, his rejection of the "millionaire's tax" and his cutbacks in every state department in his most recent budget. Measures such as these, Christie said, have contributed to the last four months of private sector job growth and a reduction of public sector jobs. "It's not robust growth," said Christie, "but it's growth in the right direction."
Referencing a recent New York magazine article titled "The Answer is No," Christie took pride in both his record of difficult fiscal decisions and his tough reputation.
"The people want a governor who says no," Christie said. "We will have safety nets for those who need them … but we will no longer put up with every program that every legislator dreams up being funded by all of you at a time when you are struggling to make ends meet. We need to be disciplined again."
Christie added, "If you want sunshine and candy grams, there are plenty of candidates willing to give them to you. But they come at an enormous cost. The cost may not be paid by you, but it will certainly be paid by our children."
Christie praised the legacy of former Gov. Brendan Byrne (second from left), who listens to the talk along with (from left) his wife Ruthi, Woodrow Wilson School Dean Christina Paxson and Tilghman.
Citing a recent New York Times Magazine article that referred to him as "The Disrupter," Christie urged attendees to consider how we "can all be disrupters," stressing that, "We won't always agree on what we choose to disrupt or how we choose to do it, but this is a moment in our history that calls for American activism again at home, to try and preserve our way of life for the next generations. That's why I'm disrupting New Jersey the way I am, and I think the early results show that we are making progress."
Noting the presence of former Gov. Brendan Byrne in the audience, on several occasions Christie compared himself to Byrne and the fiscal difficulties the former governor faced after being elected in 1973.
Christie addresses a member from the audience alongside Paxson, who moderated the question-and-answer session following the lecture.
Today, Christie said, "New Jersey finds itself in a very similar place, adrift with a lack of leadership, questioning the ethics and wisdom of its public officials continually going on a spending spree."
While his lecture focused on the state's economic challenges, Christie -- who like all sitting New Jersey governors serves as a member of Princeton's Board of Trustees -- also expressed a show of support for the University's arts and transit project. The plan calls for building a new arts complex and associated buildings near the southern end of campus, reducing traffic congestion and relocating the terminus of the Dinky commuter train.
Christie said jokingly, "I not only am willing to walk the extra 460 feet to pick up the Dinky, but everyone else is going to be willing to walk the 460 feet so that we can get the type of continued expansion and growth on this campus -- both intellectual growth and actual physical growth -- that needs to be done to continue to keep this campus and this community a vital and growing part of the state of New Jersey."
Christie engages with audience members in response to a question about educational reform.
After his speech, Christie took questions from Princeton students and other audience members on subjects including collective bargaining in the public sector, bringing businesses back to the state and educational reform, particularly as it relates to teacher accountability and student performance.
Christie called the education issue "the fight of my governorship," outlining his vision for a new system of teacher accountability that would be based on student achievement and teacher practices. This new system, Christie said, would allow for a more comprehensive basis in determining teacher compensation, tenure and accountability.
"I am willing to stake my governorship on this issue," Christie said.
Upon arriving on campus, Christie is greeted by Tilghman (center) and Princeton economist Alan Blinder.
One audience member alluded to recent speculation that Christie may run for president in 2012, saying, "Governor Christie, we love you in New Jersey and we'd love you even more in the White House."
Characteristic of his many recent denials that he has any intention of running for President, Christie said he currently has no interest in the post.
"While I'm flattered by the questions and comments about running for president of the United States, I know who I am and I know that I was meant for this job at this time," he said. "This is the job I asked for, and I'm not going to leave this job until it's finished."
The event will be archived for viewing on the Wilson School's Webmedia site.

Achievement could benefit fields of superchemistry, quantum computing
A research team that in 2003 created an exotic new form of matter has now shown for the first time how to arrange that matter into complex molecules.
The experiments--conducted by Cheng Chin, now at the University of Chicago, and his colleagues under the leadership of Rudolf Grimm at Innsbruck University in Austria--may lead to a better scientific understanding of superconductivity and advance a growing new field called superchemistry. In the long term, they may also provide a strategy that could aid the development of quantum computers. "In this field, its hard to predict whats going to happen, because none of this was possible before 2003," said Chin, an Assistant Professor in Physics. Chin, Grimm and five colleagues will report their findings in a future issue of journal Physical Review Letters.

In the U.S., PH patients, families and professionals have many resources for support, information, education and awareness-raising. Yet PH strikes patients all around the globe. In some countries, smaller patient populations and fewer resources for them mean patients may be struggling to understand and cope with their illness alone.
Over the past three years, PHA's Tom Lantos Innovation in Community Service Awards have helped fill this gap. The program, funded by Gilead Sciences, has granted small amounts of money to PH activists both inside and outside the U.S. to better organize, educate and support PH patients.
While most grants continue to be awarded to applicants in the U.S., grants to international applicants in 2012 were awarded in countries where leaders in PH will plan meetings for PH patients and professionals, planting the seeds of a more supportive and informed community.
Grantee Todor Mangarov used his Lantos grant to hold a summer meeting inviting the country's 40 patients to get acquainted with one another, learn about the disease and its treatment and discover ways to live with PH. Although PH treatment has become available in Bulgaria and the country's health ministry now provides free care, patients, doctors and government health officials have not been unified to address the full range of patient needs. Without psychological help, information about PH and guidance on how to live with this illness, Bulgarian families are left with many fears. This summer's meeting aimed to reassure patients that they are not alone, that help is available and that they may continue living positively even with PH. It was also an opportunity to discuss forming a PH Bulgaria association.

Closing a nonprofit charitable institution presents a range of unknowns to the grantmaking community. In this analysis, authors John Dickason and Duncan Neuhauser provide guidance to foundations considering whether to create a time-limited foundation or bring a foundation to an end. Topics include managing finances, grants, human and physical resources, archives, history and records.
The report explores the ways in which infrastructure organizations think about the value and the mechanics of collaboration—the drivers and barriers to collaborative work—and to determine ways to encourage more effective partnerships. The publication features a framework for understanding different types of collaboration, a set of recommendations for better collaboration, and a series of case studies that show a range of partnerships that tease out the potential benefits and challenges of various kinds of collaboration.
The Council conducted the foundation management survey in March 2010 in cooperation with the Foundation Center. Respondents were asked to provide information on their boards' demographics, compensation and reimbursement practices, liability insurance, ethics policies, and information on their foundations' administrative expenses and fiscal oversight. All reports in the series provide detailed breakdowns of survey data by foundation type and asset size. The second report of the series, Administrative and Investment Expenses, provides a variety of administrative and investment expense ratios.
The Council on Foundations' Foundation Management Series provides foundation boards and staff with the tools needed to benchmark their practices and operations against peers in the field. Containing data from the Council's 2009 Foundation Management survey, the series will consist of three reports: Board Composition and Compensation, Administrative and Investment Expenses, and Fiscal Oversight. The first report of the series, Board Composition and Compensation, offers a summary of key findings on foundation policies regarding board compensation and board diversity. The report also provides detailed breakdowns of survey data by foundation type and asset size.
Fiscal Oversight covers the use of independent auditors, the fiscal responsibilities of board committees, and the impact of audit results. The study also provides data on conflict of interest policies, directors and officers liability insurance, and board discretionary giving and matching gifts.
Foundation CEOs and trustees share insights and personal stories related to significant paths of change and how they overcame setbacks. Download a copy and gain best practices to help you successfully lead your foundation, boards and staff.
The Principles were created by representatives of more than 40 charitable sector organizations including the Council on Foundations (the working group coordinator), Independent Sector, InterAction and Grantmakers Without Borders, as an alternative to the U.S. Treasury Department's Voluntary Anti-Terrorist Guidelines.
Many people want to start foundations, but few start out knowing exactly what sort of organization they are going to create. The purpose of this e-book is to help potential donors understand the many different entities that are commonly referred to as foundations and to provide an understanding of the legal framework necessary to establish a foundation.

Obama to visit Pittsburgh next weekJanuary 25, 2014 11:59 AM
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will make his way Wednesday to Pittsburgh to expound upon themes he will touch on during Tuesday's State of the Union address.
His visit is part of a four-stop tour that will begin in Prince George's County, Md., and then move on to Pittsburgh before heading to Milwaukee and Nashville, Tenn., both on Thursday. Times and exact locations have not been disclosed.
The White House hasn't said why those locations were chosen but did say the president will emphasize efforts to help the long-term unemployed. Pennsylvania has the fourth-highest number of long-term unemployed workers.
Long-term unemployment benefits lapsed last month when Congress couldn't agree on whether or how to pay for an extension.
Extending those benefits is among the things Mr. Obama is expected to press for in the State of the Union.
"It will be an optimistic speech," White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an email to supporters Saturday. "Thanks to the grit and determination of citizens like you, America has a hard-earned right to that optimism."
The core idea of the speech "is as American as they come," Mr. Pfeiffer said. "If you work hard and play by the rules, you should have the opportunity to succeed. Your ability to get ahead should be based on your hard work and ambition and who you want to be, not just the raw circumstance of who you are when you're born."
The State of the Union address can be seen at 9 p.m. Tuesday on major networks or online at whitehouse.gov/sotu.
Washington Bureau Chief Tracie Mauriello: firstname.lastname@example.com or 703-996-9292 or on Twitter @pgPoliTweets.

Faces of Princeton
Posted June 9, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Professor David Spergel and Jared Crooks '11 discuss astrophysics and collaborating, as part of a video for "Aspire: A Plan for Princeton," a $1.75 billion fundraising campaign. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
I grew up in Fort Worth,
Texas where it's
pretty dark at night.
And so it was an exceptionally
clear night one day, and I was
getting out of my car.
I just looked up, and I was
like, oh my goodness look at
all these stars.
I'd seen the same stars
before, but now I had
questions about it.
What does it mean that I'm
seeing this starlight, or this
light from a planet that's
reflected from the sun, and
what does that mean that it's so
far away that I can't even
reach it by a spaceship.
After that I went to go read The
Universe in a Nutshell by
Stephen Hawking, and that's what
really got me interested
in astrophysics.
When I first came to Princeton,
I struggled a
little bit my freshman year,
and I was looking for help.
And luckily I'm at Princeton,
and Princeton's academic
resources are phenomenal.
Princeton has been a leading
center for theoretical
astrophysics for nearly
a century.
I was actually a member of the
class of 1982, and I'm a
professor and department chair
in the department of
When I was a senior here, I
worked with Jill Knapp, who is
still a professor in
the department.
And Jill was my senior
thesis adviser.
And to kind of go full circle,
I think Jill was the first
person that Jared worked with
when he came to Princeton.
Professor Jill Knapp and
Professor James Gunn really
took me in, and it was kind of
that encouraging, motivational
support that really helped
to shape and define
my Princeton career.
Research is hard.
You're trying to solve
a problem no
one has solved before.
You're going into the
wilderness, finding a new
path, and it's scary.
And one of the things you've got
to do as a mentor is give
the students the confidence and
the strength to go take on
Working with David is just
like being a partner.
Now, I don't know as much
as David, I don't
think anyone does.
But what he does as kind of an
academic adviser is just say,
hey look, here's a problem.
I'm going to be hands off on it,
I can help you out, but I
want you to get it done.
One day when I was going into
office hours with David, I sat
down right by the bookcase.
I looked over to the right,
because he was busy on his
computer for a while, so I had
a little time to kind of look
at what kind of books he had.
All the books are either
astrophysics or science policy.
I asked myself, what is David
doing with these books?
I thought, here he is, a hard
core theoretical physicist,
cosmologist. What does he
have any interest in
science policy for?
Then he began to engage me on
what science policy was, and
why it was important to
both astrophysics, but
science as a whole.
And from there, I kind of walked
away from his office
realizing, oh interesting,
there's not just one career
for a scientist, there
are several.
When Jared decided he was
interested in policy, I
thought this was a good
opportunity for him.
Through science policy, you
are able to help write and
effect legislation that will
then be turned into a
guideline for agencies,
corporations, schools to
follow that will help
better our society.
It's something that
really excites me.
We really want good people who
understand what science is
about doing science policy.
SINSI, or Scholars In the
Nation's Service Initiative,
is a fellowship program
here at Princeton.
After I graduate from Princeton
undergraduate, I
will come back as a graduate
student in the
Woodrow Wilson School.
Then I will spend two years in
the government, working for an
agency to help out with science
policy, and then
finish up my graduate degree
here at Princeton, and go off
into my career.
And now that he's going to be
graduating soon, the next task
is passing the baton, and making
sure that you train the
next generation to continue.
I think one of the empowering
and demanding things about
Princeton is a sense that you
should do great things.
It's like a glue that
binds all the
Princeton community together.

For the summer, most Princeton students leave campus for destinations and activities around the world. Others remain to continue research and work on a campus warmed by the sun. It is a time for rejuvenation and reflection. It is a time for absorbing the tranquility of Princeton's surroundings.
