...According to the local Kuninkjku, the mimih created the oldest of the rock art that adorns more than a thousand sites in this freshwater region just south of Maningrida. More recently, Kuninjku artists have transposed their mimih to bark, with results no less magical. Comprising nearly 300 works, "Crossing Country: The Alchemy of Western Arnhem Land Art" documents the journey from one of the world's oldest art traditions to one of the newest.

...Pacific Sunwear left yet another opening for something new and fresh; what we got instead was an utterly useless and offensively ostentatious Omega watch store. Gentrification has overrun countless college bars and eateries, forcing them increasingly out of our reach. The Grolier Poetry Book Shop—the oldest of its kind in the United States—was recently slated to close, though it seems to have retreated from the brink...

This year the university set is expected to have spent $26 billion on back-to-college wares, including clothes, books, stereos and computers. But fully $1 out of every $10 spent--$2.6 billion--went into decorating the dorm. Today's college send-offs, who have watched their parents refinance and remodel their homes...
