...felt like it was overwhelming his body, like it was going to cave in. I had recently been finding myself finding myself fascinated by things that I would normally find disturbing. My ideas of beauty at that time had just started to change. I was wondering a lot about why I would find these things beautiful. I read the script and the speech spoke directly to me at the time. I think it is what I needed to hear...
...exhibit doesn't automatically assume all graffiti is art. Part of the complexity of the question "is graffiti art" stems from the illegal nature of its creation. The oldest artwork in the world, cave paintings such as those found in Lascaux, France, could be considered a form of graffiti. But more importantly, Lascaux, like grafitti, was someone's attempt to leave their mark, and in the debate over the merits of grafitti, such a point seems more important than legalities. Additionally grafitti is also a sign of anger, resentment, and a sort of liberation in defying society's laws...

A kid who is proud of herself does not present a very tempting target to a bully. Your kid might not be lucky enough to have a phalanx of older sisters protecting her in the hallway, as I did, but she should always...
Less than half a mile away, antecessor's co-discoverer, Juan Luis Arsuaga of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, is excavating at Sima de los Huesos (Pit of Bones), deep inside a natural cave. So far, his team has found thousands of fossils from at least 33 hominids of all ages. About 300,000 years old, they appear to represent an early stage of Neanderthal evolution. Explains Eric Delson, a professor of anthropology at Lehman College in New York City: "For the first time, we have a good population from a single place and enough variation to show Neanderthal features...
...their burials, for example, the Neanderthals left no clear evidence of any ritual or any belief in an afterlife. Nor is there any hint of Neanderthal language. Most telling of all, Homo sapiens began, some 40,000 years ago, to create art in an astonishing variety of forms, including cave paintings and female statuettes...
