...Uhde, Hubert von Herkomer and Albert Besnard. But the obscure artists are an intriguing piece of the artist's aesthetic puzzle, and some of them are, as Van Gogh said, "damned good." The museum's researchers have tallied references to more than 1,100 artworks in Van Gogh's copious correspondence: 485 paintings, 52 drawings, 567 prints, 10 sculptures and three murals. The large number of prints reminds us that much of what this master of violent color first learned about art came from black-and-white reproductions. As the son of a Protestant clergyman, the young Van Gogh...
...meeting. That morning Palmisano was shocked to see Walton, one of the richest men in America, pull up to the hotel in his battered pickup truck and drive the two IBM suits over to his company's bare-bones headquarters. As Walton's top lieutenants spoke, the chairman took copious notes. Then, after about 90 minutes, Walton abruptly excused himself, telling all assembled that he had to go check out what was going on at his stores. "It made a big impression on me," says Palmisano.

The whole picture has led some, including Twain's brother Darryl, to conclude that she has become, as he put it in a 2000 magazine interview, "a robot...
...sick really benefit? So if marijuana can be harmful to healthy people--but usually isn't--could it actually be good for the sick? This is where the science gets scraggier--and in the absence of data, politics takes over. What we know is that healers have accumulated copious anecdotes on weed's powers over the past 4,700 years. Understanding Marijuana author Earleywine credits a (possibly mythical) Chinese emperor with introducing the plant as a treatment for gout around 2700 B.C. But the emperor also thought his pot potion would help memory, making him the first of many fans...
...girls is the art. In a typically daring move that will be sure to alienate both strict comix fans and non-comix readers alike, "Diary" is "an account in words and pictures," as the subtitle says. Mostly text, it reads like the diary of an artistically precocious teenager, including copious illustrations and occasionally turning into full-on comix. Some of the art is original to the time, but most of the it has been added by the adult Gloeckner...
