After a brief apprenticeship as a comic illustrator in Spain, Gris got to Paris in 1906 and installed himself as Picasso's neighbor in the now legendary Bâteau-Lavoir, a ramshackle cluster of studios in Montmartre. He painted nothing of importance until 1910, and uremia killed him in 1927 just after his 40th birthday...
...million-member Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod continues to be racked by dissension between moderates and conservatives over a cluster of issues involving among other matters, literal biblical interpretations.

From the bus, Morochata, a town of 500 or so inhabitants, was dwarfed by the huge cliffs that vaulted high into the sky above it.
