...some ways, Don's life is as phony as a stock photograph. Unloved as a child, he may never know how to love, though he's learned the gestures. Yet looking at his compromised memories, he wells up, and so do we, even as we know we're being sold. The Kodak suits want to focus on their machine's technology. Don argues that its true pull is emotional. "In Greek," Don says, "nostalgia literally means 'the pain from an old wound...
...Banksy is a 34-year-old native of Bristol, England, named Robin Gunningham, Britain's the Mail on Sunday reported on July 13. The thread that may have unraveled the mystery was a 2004 photograph taken in Jamaica, which many - including photographer Peter Dean Rickards - say is the only known picture of Banksy.

Nielsen founded a Las Vegas high-tech machine shop company, NewEra Manufacturing (formerly Western Precision) that counted among its clients the U.S. Department of Defense. Texas Congresswoman Kay Granger has called for an investigation of a $1.2 million aircraft parts contract that Nielson's company signed with the federal government. Despite the image presented by quaintly dressed mothers and bucolic family life, the FLDS...
...outlaw community. The evidence was clear in Eldorado. When Texas officials searched the ranch, which was built on instruction from Jeffs, they found his portrait hanging everywhere. When child protective services caseworkers looked at the Books of Mormon clasped in the hands of FLDS children they found his photograph pasted inside. At his September, 2007 trial in St. George, Utah, young women dressed in the FLDS prim, prarie-style fashions testified, while casting coy smiles Jeffs' way, that they listened to Uncle Warren's teachings on their I-pods...
