...Figures. Like Gauguin, Vuillard firmly believed in making no distinction between the fine and decorative arts. Among a delightful series of decorative works, eight of Vuillard's nine Public Gardens panels, reunited for the first time since 1929, provide the show with a spectacular centerpiece, and a welcome breath of outdoor air. The show will remain in Paris until Jan. 5, before moving to London's Royal Academy of Arts from Jan. 31-April 18. Botticelli, from Lorenzo the Magnificent to Savonarola (Oct. 1-Feb. 22) assembles 20 Botticelli paintings and six drawings, plus a dozen works by contemporaries like...
...greasy slice, but the 14” Basic Red ($9.95) is a good place to start for those suspicious of red onion jam and raisins on their pizza.

Police say Svensson, although not formally charged, is a suspect in the Sept. 10 stabbing death of Anna Lindh, Sweden's popular Foreign Minister, in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm. Swedish newspapers said Svensson, 35, was a high school dropout and had been convicted of more than 40 past crimes, including gross fraud, violence, physical abuse, theft and threats with...
Don’t hold your breath waiting for a meaningful prescription drug benefit for Americans on Medicare, despite the passage of bills by both houses of Congress that claim to create just that. It’s bad enough that even the more generous benefit passed by the Senate would be too small and hopelessly complicated to administer, and that the two bills may never be reconciled. That’s not the worst...
