...Lightning Man, the fellow responsible for the storm about to break over our heads. Considering their antiquity, the images are surprisingly clear. We soon learn why. In 1964 a number of the figures were renewed by a respected Aboriginal artist known as Barramundi Charlie who, our guide Rick tells us, painted over older, similar figures. No, he hastens to add, seeing our shocked expressions, such work does not amount to desecration: repainting is part of the rock-art tradition, although only authorized artists are allowed to do it.

Fortunately for sellers, a lot of people with money are warming to island retreats. Bigelow's marketer, Rick Moeser, senior vice president of Sotheby's International in Palm Beach, Fla., says inquiries about the private islands he brokers have doubled since Sept. 11, to about eight a month.

Kid Rock spends the better part of the album repeating the image of the American bad ass in his rock/hip-hop style: dirty-mouthed, abusive, drunk, drugged and not giving a damn...
...Navy job opened up midway through the season when Gladchuk fired head coach Chuck Weatherbie, and named assistant Rick Lantz as the interim coach for the rest of the year. Last week Gladchuk, formerly the athletic director at Boston College in the early 1990s, named several finalists he was considering, and Murphy was one of them...
