...rotating collection of hypermodern, provocative art. Much of the work is on loan from owner Dakis Joannou, founder of the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art in Athens. Currently, the lobby's centerpiece is the compelling image of artist Vanessa Beecroft's own highly stylized wedding in an Italian chapel, with all the guests dressed in white. It's wittily complemented by Tim Noble and Sue Webster's huge flashing YES sculpture. And besides Spencer Tunick's photos of nude figures in an architectural landscape, even quirkier works are exhibited in the restaurant opposite the slinky, multicolored swimming pool. Taking...
...were employed in it, accounting for about 9% of the total in the United States. "Signs such as 'Men at Work' unintentionally reinforce the idea that only men are suited for - and are capable of - doing outdoor physical jobs," Sherryl Kleinman, sociology professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, wrote in an email...
...weddings took place at the Pazo de Meirás in northwestern Spain on Friday. In one, held in the chapel of the faux-medieval palace, the real Leticia Giménez-Arnau, great-granddaughter of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, married her Salvadoran boyfriend in what was no doubt an appropriately austere ceremony.

Jay Faires, founder of Mammoth, set up shop in the area quite simply because ''there are a lot of 18- to 22-year-olds who don't have much...
...Western Front, no From Here to Eternity, no Dispatches. Most books on the subject are military histories, bristling with regimental acronyms that only a quartermaster could love. (William B. Hopkins' forthcoming eyewitness account of the Marines at Chosin, One Bugle No Drums, published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, N.C., neatly avoids this trap.) Knox's book does not entirely forswear such an approach. But for the most part, the story is told in the unadorned, often eloquent words of the American dogfaces and grunts who fought there.
