...other big complaint is about the introduction of contemporary art. Fumaroli wrote an indignant piece in the French magazine Beaux-Arts about the biggest show to date, an exhibition by Belgian artist Jan Fabre that was held earlier this summer in galleries containing Dutch and Flemish masterpieces. Among the highlights: a table strewn with feathered sculptures depicting the severed heads of seven owls in the same room as Van Dyck portraits, and a gigantic earthworm wriggling on upended gravestones sharing a space with 21 Rubens depictions of Marie de Medicis. The show was part of a series called "Counterpoints," designed...
...term 'world music' suggests sounds that are esoteric and unfamiliar - neither of which applies to Ethiopiques, one of the hippest acts of the summer of 08 that recently played both London's high-tone Barbican theater and the rather more déclassé Glastonbury Festival. And even though the music is certainly not from round these parts, its hooks and grooves are ones any veteran soul-boy or jazzer can relate to: funky brass, swirling organ, growling sax, rippling congas, ecstatic vocals - this is not the sound of a national culture struggling to make itself heard over the global...
Performing together for the very first time, these four artists, backed by the Boston-based Either/Orchestra, are playing a series of gigs this summer under the banner of Ethiopiques, the title of a growing catalogue of recordings from the Swinging Addis days unearthed by Francis Falceto, a French promoter of avant-garde and world music for whom this music has been a passion since he first heard Ahmed's record Erh Mhla Mhla played at a party in 1984.

Early in the summer of 1996, I gathered up the final report on airport security and headed toward the FAA administrator's office. I wasn't looking forward to this meeting. The FAA didn't like me, and had never liked my reports, and if I had missed that message, a fresh signal had just been sent. Secretary Pena had been scheduled to come to this meeting. But then his office must have discovered that the latest airport report was not substantially different from the 1993 study. So he bowed out. The message seemed clear. The Secretary was seeking Washington...
...Eight months later, with Perugia enveloped in a typically hot summer, Knox still sits in jail on the outskirts of the city. An Italian prosecutor this week requested the formal indictments of Knox, her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, and Ivory Coast citizen Rudy Hermann Guede for the murder of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old Leeds University student. All three suspects have denied any involvement in the murder...
