...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. A classic is still S&M - sand and masochism - those wonderful weeks of getting burnt, stung by jellyfish (and the local doctor who treats you), losing your watch while making sandcastles with the kids, eating a prawn that has gone off and having to be rescued by a lifeguard with an obscenely flat stomach.

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...
