"Rethinking Go Am" celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lee Ungno, one of the first Korean artists to experiment with abstract expressionism and combine it with traditional elements of Korean painting.

Meranto... ...A former potter who ran art galleries in Colorado before earning her Ph.D. at age 40... ...did something this semester that she had never done in her career. She tape-recorded her lecture. The reason: self-protection. Last winter two students filed grievances accusing the associate professor of political science at Metropolitan State College of Denver of having a liberal bias and intimidating conservative students. Although college officials found as recently as October that she had done nothing wrong, she received death threats and dozens of hateful e-mail messages.

They got a raw deal," Rego said...
