Such breakthrough works afford the merest hint of Glimp's startling originality. Given his first showing in 1907 at a gallery in Sardinia, Glimp declared his "revolt against the age-old tyranny of the frame" and produced an oil painting (Nude Stretching) that flowed off the canvas onto the wall and floor and then out the door, continuing some 320 ft. along the sidewalk. In 1911 his atonal lesbian operetta, Gal Crazy, caused a riot in Seville, where audience members mistakenly believed they were about to see a bullfight. His kinetic 1928 novel, Run, Fight, Nap, written using only verbs...
...enjoy the occasional wine or pastis (a French liqueur flavored with aniseed that is about as potent as whiskey). At 12:30 Paul said his farewells, telling Garrec that he had to meet Diana and Dodi at Le Bourget airport, where their private jet would touch down from Sardinia at 3:15 p.m. When Paul wheeled up to the private airstrip, he found something else that had become usual, the waiting paparazzi.

Lured by such sums, paparazzi are resorting to ever more aggressive tactics--sometimes even provoking confrontations with stars in order to catch their temper tantrums on film.

...Samaria, funded by Jacob Schiff, the benefactor who provided funds for the building of the Semitic Museum, and the excavations at Nuzi (with the Fogg Museum), and later (with the Museum underground) at Shechem, Idalion in Cyprus, Carthage in Tunisia, Numeirah in Jordan, and (underwater) at Tharros in Sardinia. Stager heads the current, primary enterprise of the Museum in the field, the excavations at Ashkelon, Which in addition to its contributions to Israeli and Mediterranean archaeology and history, serves as a training ground for archaeological scholars of the next generation. Ashkelon is the most ambitions American excavation in Israel since...
