...Fatal Femmes Fighting Championship, an all-female mixed-martial arts (MMA) event, almost anything goes in the cage. Sofie Bagherdai, otherwise a sweet, petite teenager from Southern California, has her opponent, Stephanie Palmer, pinned to the floor. Now she's ready to work--whack, a shot to the noggin. Bam! Pow! Boom! Half a dozen more. Palmer cowers in the fetal position, and the ref stops the fight. The medics cart Palmer out on a stretcher. (She escapes with a fractured foot, suffered earlier in the bout--which seems minor, considering the beating she took.) "I like to be friendly...
...just scoff at this so-called record. In 1998, at age 33, Lean Barry hit a respectable 37 home runs. Two years later, Bulked-Up Barry smacked 49, then a preposterous 73, followed by three more seasons of at least 45 dingers.

Dominating the exhibit foyer is a giant sculpture, Cosmos (2001), by contemporary French artist Boris Achour. Made of dyed resin, the cartoonish noggin with protruding nose rotates in space while humming a Brazilian lambada; the sound evokes an artist contentedly at work and fills the lively, labyrinthine exhibit with creative energy. Other artists prefer to turn their heads, well, on their heads. S?bastien Leclerc's 17th century engravings representing a range of emotions...
