...bought from Pieret two of the pilfered sculptures, Roman-era Iberian heads whose thick features and wide eyes he would introduce into the great painting he was then just about to embark upon, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Though he would deny it in court, he almost certainly knew at the time that both heads were lifted from the Louvre. He may even have pushed Pieret to take them in the first place. But prosecutors couldn't build a case that either Picasso or Apollinaire had stolen the heads, much less the Mona Lisa, and both of them went free. After...
...whole episode proved embarrassing for France. Peruggia had escaped the dragnet of French police, despite the fact that he had once worked at the Louvre, knew the exits and escape routes and had even helped build the glass-enclosed frame Mona Lisa was displayed in - so on the fateful morning he knew how to get her out of it quickly.

But you have to tell the truth and let the chips fall where they're going or not be a writer...
...controversial paper was written by geoscientists Gerta Keller of Princeton University and Thierry Addate of the University of Lausanne, in Switzerland. Both researchers knew that challenging the impact doctrine would not be easy. The asteroid charged with killing the dinosaurs, after all, left more than the Chicxulub crater as its calling card. At the same 65-million-year depth, the geologic record reveals that a thin layer of iridium was deposited pretty much everywhere in the world. Iridium is an element that's rare on Earth but common in asteroids, and a fine global dusting of the stuff is precisely...
...Balmert said.The Crimson was well-aware that victory was not yet assured, despite the sizeable margin.“Eight strokes, when there are four or five scores counting, is not that much at all,” Balmert said. “We all knew that we had to play our best, and we couldn’t count on a cushion going into the last day.”Those thoughts proved prophetic, as Yale got out to a great start Sunday and began steadily cutting the Harvard lead hole-by-hole. By the 13th green...
