...outside Algeria before. Cherchel was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Mauretania, restored by Augustus to Cleopatra Selene's husband, Juba II. Another marble rendering of Cleopatra Selene, found near Juba's palace at Cherchel, shows her as a more mature woman, with a heavier face and "snail-shell" curls around her forehead...
...stoning deaths were not the only awful landmarks of the week, in a struggle where an outrage by one side is followed by an outrage from the other. In Gaza, a four-month-old Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli tank shell became the youngest victim of the violence. Two Romanian immigrant workers mending a security fence at the Gaza border were blown up by Palestinians. Settlers stoned Palestinians on the roads through Gush Etzion...
...ceramics is quite good, but it's weaker in furniture. There is a fine suite of low-slung Modernist furniture in gumwood designed by Rudolph Schindler in the 1930s for his unbuilt Shep House in Los Angeles, and a splendid 1908 sideboard with inlays of fruitwood, ebony and abalone shell by Greene & Greene, those Pasadena masters of the Arts and Crafts style. But it's hard to get much more than a hint of how much really good furniture was being made in California in the first third of the century...

The savagery of the violent Israeli-Palestinian stalemate in the West Bank and Gaza appeared to be escalating this week, with every new outrage fueling the fires of revenge and reaffirming - in their own minds, at least - each side?s claim to the righteousness of letting their weapons do the negotiating. Peace, right now, is a fantasy of yesteryear, and each new lifeless child committed...
