In 1907 he was persuaded by a musician friend to take part in a bank fraud; at his trial the following year, his paintings were produced as evidence of his childishness, his testimony provoked laughter, and he walked free. Among the unanticipated pleasures of this show is the selection of Rousseau's landscapes, which never won much appreciation. Yet these small, melancholy works are exquisite records of contemporary riverbanks...
...that Pfizer announced this week that it is going to try to settle the cox-2 safety question once and for all.

The Protevangelium portrays Joseph's initial agitation with Mary far more fully than Scripture. It also tells how the dismayed High Priest later puts them both through a trial by ordeal (they must drink a potentially lethal "water of conviction") before he accepts that the pregnant Mary is still a virgin. A bright light obscures Joseph's view of the birth, but the Protevangelium has already assigned him a beautiful epiphany, beginning, "I ... was walking, and I walked...
