...learned. Italian police believe the art was stolen and smuggled out of Europe to the U.S., but neither they nor officials from La Fondazione Albizzini, which exhibits the artist's work, will speculate about suspects. The collection includes a 3-m-tall Sacco, a piece experts estimate could fetch over €1 million. "It's a sin," says Tiziano Sarteanesi, a La Fondazione Albizzini board member and a close friend of Burri's. Sarteanesi and other Albizzini officials went to collect the art in November 2003, shortly after the death of the artist's American wife, Minsa Craig Burri. "When...
...Apple's iPod music player. Keys dazzled the crowd with piano wizardry and powerful vocals. Nokia boss Jorma Ollila is hoping she can do for the N91 what rocker Sheryl Crow did for the iPod. The stylish device holds 3,000 songs and doubles as a phone. It can fetch tunes from mobile networks and wireless Internet connections; iPod can't. But the $910 price will probably turn off consumers unless mobile operators subsidize it. IDC analyst Paolo Pescatore wonders if the show was a "last gasp" effort to regain hipness. Nokia lost market share a year ago, but although...
...Bartosh, athletic director for the Midland Independent School District, was explaining the day before the game. Outside, fat drops of rain fell in sheets that turned the streets to rivers and flooded the stadium just beyond Bartosh's window. Just then a dripping grounds keeper came in to fetch a slicker. "It's gone," he said of the field. "I been out there. I got water plumb out." Bartosh canceled the junior varsity game that had been scheduled for that night, saying, "We don't want to tear up the field for junior varsity...
...like Bryant who had much of their retirement savings in company stock saw their investments wiped out. Bryant's stake dwindled from $39,000 to $4,000. (It's scant solace that WorldCom emerged from bankruptcy under the less tainted name of MCI, now a takeover target likely to fetch upwards of $8 billion from Qwest or Verizon.) WorldCom bond investors had a second reason to cheer when J.P. Morgan Chase agreed last week to pay $2 billion to settle investor claims, joining Citigroup and other Wall Street firms that had underwritten a WorldCom bond issue only about a year...
...proof that a cast was, in fact made. There are witnesses to the process in Jacob's lab, he claims, and part of the returned skull is covered in "red gunk" consistent with casting. He says there could be several reasons for making an illegal cast. Copies could fetch up to $5,000 from museums abroad. Jacob "might just want this copy for his private collection," he says. "But he's gone to a hell of a lot of trouble for something he's claiming is not important...
