...prepared to be awedThe First Lady, accompanied by her daughter Miss Barbara Bush, met His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI in the ultimate inner sanctum - the ornate, sun-splashed Papal Library in the Apostolic Palace, just off St. Peter's Square. The half-hour audience, all in the library, was so quick it was a blur for both participants and onlookers. It began with a greeting for the cameras among the Pope, Mrs. Bush, Miss Bush and Francis Rooney, the seventh U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See. The Pope, in a characteristic gesture, held both hands out and said, in English...
...take an artist to notice that a lot of sports equipment can seem more extravagant than a papal tiara. But to move from that recognition to something deeper--that's where an artist comes in handy. Something deeper is what Jungen does well. You can see just how well all through the smart, stimulating and sometimes laugh-out-loud-funny survey of his work that just opened at the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG). There are more than 40 pieces in this show, and even the fanciest snowboard is no match for the least of them...

The 14th century saw famine, the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death. The church itself was ill, increasingly corrupt and at one point contested by three papal claimants. Families were warped or ripped to shreds, with élites suffering a particular crisis of affection: to avoid having many children who would then divide their estates, noblemen waited until they were quite old before taking young wives and producing much younger sons. "Now," asks Chorpenning of St. Joseph...
...quality to the $4 billion franchise: a blond pate--less obvious here, thanks to hair gel and lighting. The naming of Craig, best known for his roles in last year's gangster caper Layer Cake and as Paul Newman's son in 2002's Road to Perdition, ends the papal-succession-like speculation about who will play Bond in the iconic character's 23rd movie, Casino Royale (not to be confused with the 1967 parody movie of the same name). Producers dropped the fifth Bond, Pierce Brosnan, 52, to find a younger actor who could portray...
