This spring, the Juilliard Dance Division celebrated its distinguished history with a program of three enduring works by choreographers associated with the academy: Antony Tudor and José Limón, both born exactly a century ago, and Martha Graham (born in 1894), who has always seemed eternal. Each piece concerns itself with what the New Yorker's art critic, Peter Schjeldahl, recently termed "plausible human interests and desires." Call this virtue passé at your peril.

Sitelines
The RÉUNION DES MUSÉES NATIONAUX (The National Museum Association's Photographic Agency) offers a photographic catalogue of some 200,00 holdings of French museums. It can be searched by artist, country, period, subject, and so on. You can make a personal album of your favorites on the site. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and D.C.'s National Gallery have similar services, but the French one is the most ambitious and extensive. Text in English as well as French.
AddALL is an ultimate umbrella for finding used and out of print books online. It doesn't have the atmosphere of Foyle's, Powell's, or even the Strand, but it will give you every opportunity to need yet another bookcase.
