• Debating Sports Records Mark Purdy, sports columnist for the San Jose Mercury News in California, compiles a list of sports records that he believes will never be broken and a separate list of records that he thinks are soon to be eclipsed.

  UCLA’s dominance of NCAA men’s college basketball in the late 1960s and early 1970s will never be matched.

Entre 1920 et 1921, le dadaïsme parisien s’illustre par de nombreuses manifestations placées sous les signes du militantisme social et de l’anarchie, et se soldent le plus souvent par des échecs publics. Les dadaïstes ont des tenues vestimentaires et un registre de langue qui s’accordent mal à un au...
