The Holocaust Museum, which opens to the public next week in Washington, is a rare example of contemporary architecture that dares to use design as a powerful means of emotional and psychological expression.

There is little dispute that the old Soviet history was a tissue of lies. But with the new school year underway in Russia, there is no consensus on the new truth. Unrepentant communists joust with democrats while nostalgic nationalists seek refuge in the 19th century. “Nationalists want to portray the glorious past of the Russian czars, and the so-called democrats are flagellating themselves, saying, ‘We have done all wrong to everyone on earth, and we have to repent’,” says Vladislav Zubok, 34, one of a new wave of post-glasnost historians....
Perhaps it’s the presence of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” at Oakland’s camp. Maybe Brown is setting the table for more chaos when regular season hits.
