...toothache, see a dentist; if it's a pain in your taxes, come to me." With that crude but compelling slogan, Mogens Glistrup, Denmark's premier tax-dodge artist and maverick politician, not only made himself a millionaire but also built the country's second largest party, which now holds 26 of the 179 seats in parliament. Last week, after a 3½-year trial, a Copenhagen court found him guilty on a host of charges involving fraud and tax evasion and directed him to pay $880,000 in fines and back taxes.

It seems that she went to bed with him only because he reminded her of a sailor she missed an assignation with when she was 14. A middle-aged woman keeps having seriocomic fights with the daughter...
...large," Motherwell said, responding to the audience's awe at the size of his murals. "The obvious answer never seems to occur to them. Lofts in New York City, where so much of the Expressionist Movement grew, are 100 feet long by 20 feet wide. The artist's tendency is to fill up the environment...
