...still thousands of stolen works floating around in antiques shops, in people's private collections and elsewhere. Do you think they'll ever be recovered? I think over the next 15 to 20 years many of those things that are missing will surface. As the WW II generation passes over the next five to 10 years, these things in attics and basements and on walls will pass on to younger generations, and they might try to sell them. Buyers will want to know what they are buying and where it came from - and that could lead to answers...
...Despite his grass-roots support, it's uncertain if Williams can muster a council majority next month to pass the ordinance, which would likely be the first such law to emerge amid the Great Recession.

For example, My Wedding is a Big Deal!, an assortment of bridal fails, Photobombs and other snafus, didn't quite gel. Another contender, called That's So Racist - for posting public examples...
Head of the Charles: 1. Weekend in October devoted to a massive crew race. 2. When college and prep-school students descend on Cambridge to get drunk. 3. When your roommates will invite total strangers to drink, party, and pass out in your room. 4. A good weekend (October 17-18 this year) to skip town...
