...Voted, in the House and Senate Interior Committees, to spend $2,143,150 for establishing a national monument in Nebraska's agate fossil beds, named for the rich concentrations of prehistoric mammal traces that abound in the area...

With 3,000 paintings, 500 artists and 34 countries represented, the Biennale promised, as usual, to be an embarrassment of riches, and proved, as it often has, to be a mass preview of oblivion.

Some look like hospital dresses; others look like...
