...Post wrote that the "notion of party consistency makes eminent sense. In states that do not have such restrictions, governors sometimes choose replacements from their own party rather than from the party of the previous Senator." Notably, in 2002, after Democratic Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash, Independent Party Gov. Jesse Ventura replaced him with fellow Independent Party member, Dean Barkley...
...least some in the Diana industry think it will get a boost this year from more than the anniversary of the car crash in a Paris tunnel. After years of delays, the inquest into her death is starting up in London - and the press finally will have something new to say. "The real interest now is the story of the conspiracy," says Peter Hill, editor of London newspaper the Daily Express.

Robert Smithson, who died in a plane crash in 1973, was the U.S. representative nine years later. All the same, the choice of a dead artist denies the important Biennale spotlight to a living one. Before and after his death, but especially after, Gonzalez-Torres' work was widely circulated around the museum world. But it was a brief life, a relatively small output, and it's been seen quite a bit. So there's no sense of surprise...
