...most dramatic moments in three revolutionary artists’ lives. The second piece in Hershey Felder’s “imagination in music,” Romantique transports the audience to a momentous summer evening in a country house outside of Paris where Delacroix, Chopin and George Sand have gathered.

...geopolitical conditions just aren't extreme enough. "Not taking a vacation would not be French," explains Diane Hebert-Stevens, a young Parisian ad saleswoman. While Europeans are vacationing with undiminished fervor, the trips they're taking now come in several different flavors.

Even for those who insist on the traditional long getaway - those who each summer confront roads, airways, terrorism...

The centerpiece of the show is a life-size sculpture of Fawcett's naked form carved in marble by Edmier, and Edmier's cast in bronze by Fawcett. Also on display is a wax seashell containing Fawcett's footprints in sand from her hometown. Sounds like a show you'd skip if there weren't a Charlie's Angel involved? Maybe that's the point...
...chaotic conditions at the stadium appalled the intelligence official and a Pentagon source who accompanied him there. The men saw young boys being held at gunpoint, kneeling in the hot sand. An Army sergeant, asked why a boy was being detained, replied, "He was caught riding on the back of a stolen bicycle." Says the intelligence source: "This kind of treatment would never be tolerated in the U.S., so why here? Aren't we supposed to be showing them a different way?" Hamoudi, who eventually made it to Jordan, says the American soldiers who arrested him stole two wristwatches...
