ASIDE
One of the hidden gems of a web page (at least for those at Stanford)
is the Physics Library's "Campus Eateries and Attractions" at
http://library.stanford.edu/depts/physics/related/eateries.html
Want to know where to eat on campus, this is the page. Not eating at
lunch but want to see an attraction, this is also the page.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Question
Wednesday - Sunday, all day, 14 July 2004 - 2 January 2005
Cantor Arts Center (aka Stanford Museum)
http://ccva.stanford.edu//question.html
This experimental project addresses questions that are frequently
asked about art and its presence in museums and provokes visitors, as
well as Center staff, to think in new ways. Objects from the Center's
collections illustrate questions that have no simple or "correct"
answer and that lead to continued exploration, such as "What is
artistic quality?" or "Who decides what is art or who is an artist?"
We welcome comments and questions from visitors.
