...figure is seen side-on, his body twisted toward us, his crucified arms in extreme perspective. His despairing figure is reduced to fragments: the first drawing concentrates on his torso and legs and his strained posture. On the next sheet are his arms and upper torso, his head thrown back so we see not much more than his neck. Separately, the palm of his left hand faces us, open in a pleading gesture. Much more calm, and the epitome of male beauty, is the well-known figure of Adam. The painted figure, from the Sistine ceiling's Creation of Adam...
...arrival of Kambu and her fellow activists has certainly thrown new light on Papua's aspirations. Her husband, 32-year-old activist Herman Wainggai, says increasing military intimidation late last year sealed the group's decision to escape.

Some argue that this time is well-spent, that we should always hold students and professors and even institutions accountable for the education that should be accrued. A multiple-choice test, however, cannot...
...stormy supermodel accused the woman of stealing jeans Campbell wanted to wear on Oprah. This isn't the first time Campbell was accused of roughing up an employee. In 2000 she pleaded guilty to assaulting an assistant, and in 2003 a staff member sued, saying Campbell had thrown, yes, a phone at her. The model said the latest allegation is "completely untrue." Her next court date is June 27. We just hope the right suit is hanging in the closet...
