Porcella ticked seven of them off as a Caravaggio, a Lotto, a Tintoretto, and some assorted smaller fry. (In Rome last week he denied that he had identified the other three as a Raphael, another Tintoretto and a Titian...

If no agreement is reached by June 30, the questions will be submitted to arbitration...
...debt when a flash fire wiped out his printing plant. Luckily, he was able to sweet-talk a local bank into an unsecured $25,000 loan, and he has not taken a step back since. By the late 19303, Hallmark was one of the top three cards...
