...feet to the ground, it looked as if Ruth and Jack would be stranded until morning. But Ruth, a Brooklyn girl who had been taught in Orthodox Jewish schools, was sure that a deeply religious issue was at stake. As she later explained in an unusual lawsuit, Ruth felt that her religion forbade her to spend the night alone with a man in a place that was inaccessible to a third person. After some thought, she slid from the chair and plummeted to the mountainside, suffering a fractured nose as well as neck and back injuries...
Obviously, the Vatican felt that the Zemplen appointment was part of the price it had to pay for a greater episcopal presence in Hungary.

...Negro model painted in 1866 that shows the young Cézanne was working even then at the plastic shapes, low-keyed values, and flat planes that would eventually supplant the impressionists. Paul Gauguin's stark Self-Portrait: Near to Golgotha illustrates the anguish that the artist felt when he arrived in Tahiti for his final sojourn-ill, unable to sell his canvases, and forced to subsist on borrowed money. Vuillard's fame as a painter rests on his domestic scenes, but he also enjoyed Paris' gay night life, as may be seen from his decorative vignette...
