...April 21, 1988, under the gaze of Anastasio Cardinal Ballestrero of Turin and a video camera, Italian microanalyst Giovanni Riggi cut a 1/2-in. by 3-in. strip of linen from the shroud, well away from its central image and any charred or patched areas. He divided the strip into three postage stamp-size samples and distributed them to representatives of laboratories in Zurich, Oxford and the University of Arizona in Tucson. Each then performed at least three radiocarbon measurements on its sample...
Take a stroll through Gorilla Falls, which executive designer Joe Rohde, who dreamed up the park, carefully calls "a representation, not a reproduction, of an African habitat."

And while we can't predict the leaders of the next decade, let alone...
...invisibility of homosexuality legitimizes a climate of homophobia. If, on the other hand, Oppenheim is offended solely by the word "vulva" on a BGLTSA poster, I suggest he take a trip to the Fogg, where he will find an ample number of vulvas exposed to the (heterosexual) painter's gaze...
