Edvard Munch's painting The Scream is among the world's most reproduced images. So when one of his original versions was stolen from Oslo's Munch Museum last August, along with his Madonna, the heist left art lovers as anguished as The Scream's subject. After closing for nine months, the museum reopened this summer with tighter security and a stirring new exhibit of works by the tormented Norwegian. "Munch by Himself" is billed as a survey of the artist's self-portraiture. But whether nailed to a cross in Golgotha (1900) or lying in a pool of blood...

"With file...
...Evening News read "URE GOING TO CAUSE CHAOS," echoing the alarm of local authorities, who may be unprepared for such an influx and forced to rent portable toilets from the Continent. Live 8 downplayed the call to march, but by then faced fresh criticism - that although Paul McCartney, U2, Madonna and other rock royalty are signed up, few black performers and only one African will appear. At the press conference, one participant pronounced himself content, however. Elton John says that at the original gig in 1985, "I was pretty much a self-obsessed drug addict." At least that...
