Built in the mid-1760s, the Ipswich, Massachussetts, house's diverse inhabitants have included colonists (1757-1772), revolutionaries (1777-1789), reformers (1836-1865), and immigrants (1870-1890).

Pearl Harbor! The surprise was complete. The attacking planes came in
two waves; the first hit its target at 7:53 AM, the second at 8:55. By 9:55
it was all over. By 1:00 PM the carriers that launched the planes from 274
miles off the coast of Oahu were heading back to Japan. Behind them they left
chaos, 2,403 dead, 188 destroyed planes and a crippled Pacific Fleet that
included 8 damaged or destroyed battleships

5-21-01 DESIGN
A DIAMOND RING
Guides say the prospective groom should spend two months' salary on an engagement
ring. For some, that will mean a tasteful yet inexpensive band; for others,
a bauble that's big, bold, and pricey. Either way, engaged couples can experiment
with different looks without spending a penny at Design Your Own Engagement
Ring (adiamondisforever.com/dtoer).
Then compare it with similar designs or find a local jeweler who can sell
you the ring you want.

5-14-01 Star Wars: Designer Edition
"It is a period of stylistic banality. The rebellion is looking dowdy
and the evil Galactic Empire has grown too fond of industrial finishes. Dull
grey is the 'in' color." So begins an epic journey to the farthest reaches
of time, space, and fashion sense. From the new-Beetle-inspired AT-AT Walker
to Jabba the Hut's Ghery-designed palace, you'll be amazed at how today's
designers have managed to spruce up the galaxy. Say goodbye to dull earth-tone
robes and passé pastel light sabres.

conglomerate gets down with paper folding. They'll help you make things with

5-01-01 What
Is a Print?
This nifty Museum of Modern Art exhibit describes the fine art of printmaking,
an ink-on-paper format, in which images are created using various techniques
of indirect transfer. Printmaking is centuries old -- the first woodcuts appeared
in ninth-century China. In the Renaissance, artists like Breughel and Rembrandt
created etchings using acid to incise line drawings on a metal plate. Lithography
(crayon or ink on stone) flourished in the 19th and 20th centuries, as in
the work of Toulouse-Lautrec. Screenprinting (serigraphy) came into its own
with the poster and pop art of the 20th century. Think Warhol, Marilyn, Campbell
Soup. Enjoy the galleries.
