Millionaires and Mechanics, Bootleggers and Flappers: Speaking of The Great Gatsby is being presented in conjunction with the book selected for the second annual UConn Reads program, The Great Gatsby. In keeping with The Roaring Twenties theme, characterized by lavish living, widespread urbanization, and dizzying modernity, this exhibition features early 20th-century works that give form to the era of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Featured works include paintings by Reginald Marsh and Everett Shinn, photographs by Paul Strand, and prints by Peggy Bacon and Edward Hopper.

No, North Korea isn't making me nervous. They're just a bunch of big mouthed small minded wind…Read More bags. What really makes me nervous are the politicians currently in power around here, namely Dan Malloy and Barack Obama. They make me plenty more nervous than Kim Jong Un...

I wonder what will happen to these kids 20 years from now after taking these drugs.

ADHD is a real disorder but is way over-diagnosed. When a boy isn't engaged (bored, not challenged),…Read More he's slapped with a label. Sometimes drugs are appropriate, other times it could mean that he needs to move up a grade level or be stimulated in another way. But other times its just covering problems up. I'd like to know what other countries do that diagnose ADHD.

Why not make them public! The whole public has been on this since begining. We mourned and have had…Read More tribute after tribute. We got to see the faces of the victims,why can't we see the evidence,life and witnesses of a man who did such a hienous act.. I don't get it.

And there is the great thing about the Internet. I came here (just found Patch the other day) for…Read More some civil discussion about local events with people in my community and not one post later it devolves to, essentially, name calling by anonymous users. It’s the most perfect constant in the universe.
Anyway, no, 17 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things, but this is not the 1950’s. And I don’t see why in this case it’s Bill Clinton’s values. He signed the law, but I fail to see how that effects the current discussion. It would seem to be the values of the country as whole that are changing.
