It seems that Rauschenberg was struck by the incongruity of a stuffed goat in an office-furniture store window. He tried to paint the image. No good. But two years later, he laid a canvas on the floor, bought the goat, and set it on top of the canvas with a rubber tire around its middle. "I just wanted them to cope with the fact that it was there...
...case included a detective's testimony that after Robles was arrested, he said: "I went in to pull a lousy burglary and I wind up killing two girls."

From the ceiling hang huge plastic chandeliers, each of which took 300 hours to make. Said Decorator Jean...
What McCurdy lacks is biceps. Fullback Tom Choquette and neophytes Ron Wilson and Cartel Lord have all heaved the shot around 50 feet. That is enough to break Mrs. McGillicuddy's window but not enough, sadly, to win many track meets. Army has shotputters in the 52 foot range, and weight throwers who could...
