Another frightened co-worker wanted to wait for the required phone call to evacuate. Godfrey, who looked...
...view. In early likenesses by Pisanello, Pollaiuolo and Uccello, the subject is seen in strict profile. This gives her remoteness: she doesn't look back at you or acknowledge your gaze in any way.

If your shopping list included gold-plated toilet-brush holders, 8,500 slabs of Italian marble and an attack-helicopter simulator, you were in luck. The citizens of Brunei were not: in a victory for good taste, the auction raised a paltry $8 million...
...Ryan Adams Gold (Lost Highway) There's an aroma of the young, freewheeling Bob Dylan in the organ and acoustic-guitar textures beloved by this urban folk rocker. On his lyric sheet, word games take a backseat to riffs on love, youth and empty pockets. Boomers nostalgic for their hitchhiking days, as well as their children thumbing a ride to the city for the first time, will find something to get weepy over...
