...will also be the first time in decades that scholars have had access to the treasures and to a comprehensive catalog of the objects. The catalog, says Mikhail Treister, a curator at the Pushkin, is a "colossal work" that involved photographing each object, creating a complete description of it and assembling scientific articles and translating the text into seven languages. It will be available in English next month (Abrams...
...haphazard quest to be seen as something other than a buzz bin for all things Celine Dion. The reruns, each featuring newly taped introductions by the still chipper Dick Clark, prove that VH1 has mastered the Nick-at-Nite art of repackaging cheesy old shows as found-object satire.

Excited about his new discovery, Graham starts to use thallium on other members of his family, until he is caught by the police and sent...
That doesn't mean he knows exactly what he would do in the White House if he got there. Getting to Dole's core involves some archaeology. Surely some object will ultimately be unearthed, but only after digging through layer after layer of contradictory public positions--he is for affirmative action, then against it; he favored comprehensive health-care reform, then he dismissed the idea that there was a health-care crisis. He has fought alongside ideologues enough to learn not to trust them; in 1985, when he believed Reagan was serious about cutting the deficit, he actually took...
