MARION The fire at Notre-Dame on April 15, 2019, was a shock to all who know and love Paris.
On Feb. 11 at 7 p.m., the Sippican Historical society will host a lecture, led by Caroline Bruzelius on the repair of Notre Dame via Zoom.
Bruzelius is a scholar of medieval architecture and sculpture in Italy and France. She has published extensively on Gothic buildings and taught at Duke University from 1981 to 2018. Between 1994 and 1998 she was Director of the American Academy in Rome.
Although the cathedral was saved, its restoration is enormously complex and may take much longer than the five years promised by the French government.

What’s behind those hard-to-resist puppy dog eyes? New research suggests that over thousands of years of dog domestication, people preferred pups that could pull off that appealing, sad look. And that encouraged the development of the facial muscle that creates it. Today, pooches use the muscle to raise their eyebrows and make the babylike expression. That muscle is virtually absent.
