...stars because the power had gone out and it was too hot inside without air conditioning. From the rooftop balcony of the two-story house in northern Tikrit where he sought refuge early last week, Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, the fourth-most-wanted man in Iraq, had a panorama on a life come undone. To the south he could make out the sprawling family farmlands where he used to spend weekends with his boss and cousin, Saddam Hussein. A few miles up the road stood the ex-regime's garish presidential palaces, now occupied by soldiers...
...Winter Edition of the Aggie Panorama alumni magazine reports, old alumni records listed the school’s sports color as “Harvard crimson.” The official red of the university logo, however, according to Director of Communications Karl A. Hill, is a special blend unique to the school called “Aggie red.” Clothing manufacturers hadn’t produced the color exactly, and throughout the years sportswear for NMSU had ranged through various shades of red, necessitating a call to the alumni for input as to what color was preferred...
...first time in over 400 years a set of mythological scenes based on descriptions of ancient art by 3rd century B.C. writer Philostratus, made for the private room of warlord and art lover Duke Alfonso d'Este.

But it isn't the charred timber that makes her wrinkle her nose. The ill odor, she says, is coming from Washington, specifically from President George W. Bush's controversial plan to increase logging in national forests in the name of reducing the risk of fires...
...include the sweeping vision of a New York suddenly swarming with immigrants. Displaying an urgency and elegance unmatched by any other living auteur, Scorsese finds drama in visual contrast: a door in a dark, noisy room that is kicked open to reveal a silent, snow-laden street. One amazing panorama shows men coming off a ship from Ireland, being immediately conscripted and outfitted in Northern blue, then put on a troop ship--all in a single shot that ends with a view of the troop ship's cargo: 20 coffins on the dock...
