After all, these photographs did not simply illustrate a story; they were the story, and we did as others did, blurring the genitals of the prisoners but otherwise showing what the world saw. For the cover image, we chose not to run a picture but instead asked artist Matt Mahurin to do an illustration of a hooded prisoner with his hands tied behind his back, a haunting image that captured the drama of the moment better than any single photograph could...
...Morrissey was quite possibly the unhappiest person in the world. What bonded him to his audience forever--and made him a prototype for Kurt Cobain--was his willingness to share.

...Britart - and most tried to dance on its grave. Not that the tabs don't know their art, but many experts believe the movement is equally likely to rise phoenix-like from the ashes - with higher price tags attached.

Foregoing a traditional story, it reads like Neptune's dream after a night of bad sushi. Harder depicts the whale as a fearsome monster, a silent behemoth that rules...
DIED. JOHN WHITEHEAD, 55, R.-and-B. artist best known for his 1979 hit, Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, which has become the unofficial anthem of Philadelphia's professional sports teams; of a gunshot wound; in Philadelphia. The singer-songwriter who, with his partner Gene McFadden, wrote a string of R.-and-B. hits in the 1970s, was shot in the neck as he and a nephew worked on a car. Police say the nephew may have been the intended target...
