...three weeks back at Kintore with the same nurse. It so impressed health minister Toyne that his government provided two machines and nurses, plus pilot funding for 12 months, with plans to use the model elsewhere in the state. One of the first patients through was Turkey Tolson's widow, Mary, who was well enough to join in women's business at Kintore this month, dancing at ceremony and collecting bush tomatoes. Next, Toyne wants to target the younger generation of Pintupi people with preventive measures, looking at better immunization, hygiene and diet. In the meantime, says Tim Kingender...
...death: How much money did he have, and where is it? In the mid-1990s, Arafat controlled a financial empire worth at least $3 billion.

His widow Jean directed the operation until her death in 1992, and then a trust led by John Harrington, hired by Yawkey as a Red Sox treasurer in 1973, took over. The Sox improved but still no silverware...
...notorious affairs with them. Utamaro was arrested in 1804 for an impolitic portrait of the shogun with his concubines, and spent 50 days in irons. He is said to have been so depressed by this public disgrace that he soon died. One of his apprentices married his widow, adopted his name and used it to produce prints, exasperating collectors to this day. The original Utamaro brought a new sensitivity to uki-yo-e portraits, deftly capturing mood, nuance and drama through his simplicity of line and use of close-ups. Utamaro also produced his share of shunga?"images of spring...
