...exhibit, through 12 works altogether, attempts to trace the development and changes in artistic style of Sandro Botticelli, one of the great artists of the Italian Renaissance. As an introduction to his time period as well as to his works, it manages to present a vast amount of information in a very logical sequence, making good use of the relatively small and awkward space. But while it gives the viewer a glimpse of Botticelli's life and times, this is often at the expense of drawing the viewer's eye from the artwork. The text, well-written and informative, tends...
Some of the men have been treated for more than a year. None of them show any trace of HIV in any of their blood. Ho has not forgotten, however, that zero does not always equal zero. He and Markowitz are looking for pockets of virus in the lymph tissue, the semen and the spinal fluid...
...what had been acceptable trace levels of chemical agents in the battlefield are found to be harmful, the U.S. military will have to revamp the way it protects its forces against even those tiny amounts.

...chain of ownership has also been the subject of considerable dispute. Some specialists trace it directly back to the painter's sister-in-law. Tasset and others claim the first owner was the art dealer Amedee Schuffenecker.

Thus many doubters believe Jardin a Auvers was actually painted by Claude-Emile Schuffenecker (1851-1934). If so, its celebrity is a vindication of sorts for a painter...
...missile or a mechanical malfunction. In the absence of a conclusive explanation, the Internet has whipped facts, factoids and un-facts into a froth of conspiracy theory. In a piece published in the Nov. 17 issue of the New York Times Magazine, authors Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen trace the strange progress of the friendly fire theory across the Net. One variant: the bombing was a hit. Henry Kissinger was the intended victim because he was supposed to be on the flight--except that, oops, he was never supposed...
