...adjacent Salomé, which epitomizes the unconventional. Largely a satirical depiction of femmes fatales, the wanton Salomé leans over John the Baptist’s head with her breasts exposed, her fingers probing at the eyes of the dead.

...engineer has given at least $500 to the Atlanta Food Bank every year since 1982. One year he gave $1,200. And this on a retirement income of about $1,700 a month.
