The Axum Obelisk, brought from Ethiopia to Rome by Mussolini’s soldiers, was damaged by lightning yesterday. The CNN story has a picture. There’s more on the history of the obelisk here.

Charles Goldman in Berkeley
My friend Charles Goldman (no link — I’m not done working on his web site) has a nice review in the SF Chronicle of his show in Berkeley. Check out the images.
I’ve seen the Distance Paintings in person. They’re beautiful.

Art dealers hovering around art schools
… looking for “new talent”. The Art Newspaper has a pretty good article on the search for hot/new/young artists. It quotes one of my favorite “art world” people — Zach Feuer from LFL Gallery. I didn’t know he was only 23!

Talibum Alert?
That paragon of British Journalism, the Sun, has an article with the classy title of “Talibum Alert!” about hunky British marines being chased by men wearing makeup and perfume in the mountain villages of Afghanistan.
Marine James Fletcher, 24, of Arbroath, Scotland, said: “They were more terrifying than the enemy. They go about hand in hand, mincing round the village.
“We were pretty shocked. The Afghan soldiers with us said a lot of men in this country have the same philosophy as Ancient Greeks: ‘A woman for babies, a man for pleasure’.”
Pal Gaz Pickles, 23, from Scarborough, North Yorks, said: “I think one problem is that they don’t have women around. They are hidden up in the hills.”
The commandos came under close scrutiny from the pink parade during a mission in South Eastern Afghanistan.
They were told by Afghan soldiers that some villagers had never seen a western man before — and thought the muscle-bound marines were very hunky.
