Metropolitan Museum Completes Round of Layoffs
Mr. Houghton said the savings from the layoffs and retirements — about $10 million — would not completely fill the hole in the 2010 operating budget but would come close enough so that the public would probably “discern no difference at all in the visitor experience it has been our privilege to offer to them here.” Harold Holzer, a Met spokesman, said that program cuts might mean fewer concerts and lectures but that the museum's hours would remain the same, as would the num [Read more]

Music Review | 'Orbits' Round and Round the Music Soars in
As the music gains in intensity, there are captivating antiphonal effects, with ferocious outbursts passed back and forth among groupings of trombones and the organ erupting in a fit of cascading chords, holding its own against the din of brass. But there were also strangely spiritual episodes in this fitful and overpowering piece, as when the trombones played gently rising harmonies built from scores of individual lines while the ethereal soprano sang a wondrous mix of slinky slides and wordles [Read more]

Children's Book Reviews: 6/22/2009
Twelve-year-old Miranda, a latchkey kid whose single mother is a law school dropout, narrates this complex novel, a work of science fiction grounded in the nitty-gritty of Manhattan life in the late 1970s. Miranda’s story is set in motion by the appearance of cryptic notes that suggest that someone is watching her and that they know things about her life that have not yet happened. She’s especially freaked out by one that reads: “I’m coming to save your friend’s lif [Read more]

Through the keyhole of retailers' headquarters
Furthermore, research consistently shows that the number-one factor in determaining employee engagement is employees? manager and how well they are managed.

But even then, it?s not about whether the building has floor to ceiling glass windows, state of the art lighting, plush carpets or Italian leather sofas. What is vital is comfort and cleanliness.

Wright's enigmatic persona, life as legendary as his work
In The Women, T.C. Boyle's recent novel about Frank and the four women who loved him, Sarah found a better explanation: the tale of a controlling, obsessive-compulsive genius who shunned family in favor of work, who required loyalty from all those around him but rarely returned the devotion.

Guggenheim Will Cut 8 Percent of Its Positions
Tough times have affected the Guggenheim before. In 1994, during another economic downturn, nearly 10 percent of its staff was dismissed, operating hours were reduced and its library was temporarily closed.
