You are lounging in a warm plunge pool in the garden of a private villa while listening to Bach's "Goldberg Variations." Your robe and slippers are on the floor where you dropped them, right near the giant, pillow-mounded platform bed. You are thinking about having a brie omelet for breakfast, then a spa foot massage or a ginseng facial. You know you won't have to tell the bartender how to mix a dry martini when you order one before dinner. Are you at the Post Ranch Inn at Big Sur on the California coast or the Plaza Athenee in Paris?

BADALING, China -- At Badaling, the Great Wall rides the ridgelines like a dragon, its gray brick scales glinting and its crenelated spine writhing. Built at a strategic pass in the mountains north of Beijing, it crosses stout gates, plunges into narrow defiles, climbs back up to the heights and seems to go on forever. Long after this month's Olympic Games end in Beijing, people will flock to Badaling, where seeing is believing in the Ten Thousand Li Long Wall of ancient annals and legend.

Curated by Stephen Schloesser of Boston College's history department, the exhibit of 180 works plays on the twofold meaning of the French word masque, for which English must use two words: the masks people wear as disguises and masque as a form of dramatic performance. A breakout series of paintings and oils on paper ensued, the heavy-bodied women having been offered the warmth of the artist's stove in return for posing. [...] in 1905, Rouault came across "a nomad caravan, parked by the roadside," where the artist noticed an old clown sitting in a corner "mending his sparkling and gaudy costume.

In 1956 a group of young artists and jazz lovers formed The Jazz-Art Society (soon to be renamed The African Jazz-Art Society & Studios - AJASS) and began producing jazz concerts coupled with art exhibitions and African cultural presentations. Influenced by Carlos A. Cooks and the African Nationalist Pioneer Movement (ANPM), an offshoot of Garvey's UNIA, AJASS began incorporating African Nationalist themes into their productions. After witnessing the 1961 "Miss Natural Standard of Beauty Contest" hosted each Garvey Day, August 17, in which girls competed without straightening their hair, AJASS organizers Elombe Brath, [Kwame Braithwaite], Robert Gumbs, Frank Adu, Chris Asmandeces Hall, Leroy "Satch" Giles, Ernest Baxter, David Ward and Gus Williams launched the Grandassa Models and ...

For her, the defining events were the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in early April 1968, and the ensuing riots. As D.C. burned, poignant exchanges occurred: "We'd typically ask our black friends, 'What can we do?' They would say, 'Get us guns.'" Our reaction was, 'Well, gee whiz, I don't think so.' Their response: 'If you won't get us guns, why don't you go home and work in your own communities?' The commune itself was always chaotic, according to [Tom Pels]. "We were highly disorganized," he notes. "We had no system whatsoever. It was catch as catch can. Someone would buy chickens and cows. Others said, 'I didn't know we wanted a cow." A hay baler would just appear, or someone started taking down a wall. I'd think, 'Wait a minute, did we all agree on this?'" For the Pack...
