Three sculptures that left the collection at Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate, in 1979 have returned to the six-story stone mansion's subterranean art gallery. On loan for 2008 from the Museum of Modern Art, the works by Alexander Calder, Naum Cabo, and Julio Gonzalez are on display in homage of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nelson A. Rockefeller, the former New York governor and United States Vice President, who lived at Kykuit from 1962 until his death in 1979.

Pomp and Circumstance 2008 Jun 20, 2008
In Irvington High School, 85 percent of the 171 seniors who will graduate on Saturday are headed to a four-year college.

Jina Hamad decided on his own that he'd like to take one year off from his formal studies to join the Oceaner Leadership Team in New Zealand, where he'll do some fund-raising and then travel to Pacific islands such as the Solomon Islands and Samoa. On those islands, he'll help residents clean and fix things in construction projects and he'll hold seminars on topics such as AIDS prevention.
"I didn't want to go straight into college," Hamad said in an interview last week. Before heading out to New Zealand, Hamad will spend the summer in the Dominican Republic, where he'll also perform volunteer work. His goal, he said, is not just money. Rather, it's to be a "productive" member of society, to have fun and to meet new people. read this article
