Giacometti has taken to applying paint to his febrile bronze figures, and explained to visitors that he had never liked the metal's brown color anyway. He rhapsodized that life was more valuable than art, saying, "Even if a rat gnawed on a Rembrandt, I would refuse to kill it to save the painting." The artists had a ball...
...simplest outdoor grills ever devised is offered by Hammacher Schlemmer for a mere $7.95. Folded it looks like a collapsed knapsack, and unfolded like a square wastebasket with a metal rack perched on top.

The arsenal is so well-stocked that choice is inevitably confusing. Arlene Del Fava, along with many another New Yorker, has decided that from now on there is only one side arm that will keep her safe from both cops and robbers-"a hatpin...
