...similar in style and equal in quality" - he pauses, correcting himself - "superior in quality to Botticelli." Filippino, he says, "combined a poetic vision with an extraordinary ability to render naturalistic details." Franco Camarlinghi, president of Firenze Mostre, the organization that produced the exhibit, agrees: "I adore Botticelli as an inventor of ideas, but Filippino comes off as the greater painter. We have to change Florence's point of view." Vittorio Sgarbi, an art historian and critic, says that Filippino emerges from the show as "more interesting than Botticelli - richer in doubts, in uncertainties. He's a more modern figure...
...taste of a past partner. Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) discovers this after tracing a note to ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet), asking mutual friends not to raise his name in conversation with her.

Shaw of Leicester, England, as ?the latest outdoor activity that combines the thrill of an extreme sport with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.? At the Extreme Ironing World Championships in Munich two years ago, athletes competed in five events: forestry, rock-wall, aquatics, vehicular and freestyle. With the tilted gaze of a visionary, Steam has eyes on the 2008 Olympics: ?If they can have synchronized swimming, why can?t they have Extreme Ironing?? His friend, Matthew ?Starch? Patrick, remains skeptical: ?I wouldn...
