...Israeli police, John Paul defied rumors of trouble at Nazareth's Church of the Annunciation. It was in this place that the Angel Gabriel is believed to have told Mary she would give birth to the Messiah; accordingly, a legend on the altar reads HERE THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH. But it was also here last year that Muslim riots broke out when Christians objected to a mosque going up nearby. No disturbances rent the peace during the Pope's two-hour Mass, however, perhaps because a Muslim prayer leader preached against disturbances after a brief spate of shouts...

And every inch of it, from the sinister greenish clouds and electric-blue sky to the gnarled bone and putrescent flesh of the monster, is exquisitely painted. This, not Picasso's Guernica, is modern art's strongest testimony on the Spanish Civil War and on war in general. Not even the failures of Dali's later work can blur that fact...
...Fabre's The Power of Theatrical Madness featuring Mapplethorpe's work. The pictures are erotic and feature lots of bare flesh. Annamirl appears bent over the naked body of Wim, who lies majestically on the ground with his crown, his phallic scepter and prominent manhood grazing his thigh...
