...photojournalists. Picasso's Guernica became the most lasting image of the Spanish Civil War, yet there is no great art depicting the Vietnam War, he says--or, thus far, the war in Iraq. Botero's paintings and charcoal drawings will be unveiled in June at Rome's Palazzo Venezia, as part of a retrospective of his work, which will then travel to Germany, Greece and the U.S. But as of now, the Abu Ghraib series will not be part of the U.S. exhibition because it was organized before the works were created. And they will never go on sale...

The latter half of the concert was comprised of eleven pieces by Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) drawn from La fiera di Venezia, Armida, La secchia rapita, La finta scema, La scuola de’ gelosi, Palmira, Regina di Persia, and La cifra...
...river more space." Klement Tockner, an aquatic ecologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, agrees. "With heavy rainfalls, the problem with most rivers is that they are dammed in, so they rise instead of widening." Tockner cites the example of the Tagliamento River in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The river is 170 km long and up to 2 km wide in places.
