Re: BBC America

Have you ever noticed that Bush (or for that matter Kerry) does not run ads on BBCAmerica? Good reason to watch it.

In The Chaos Household

Last Night

Very hot & dry.

We're being inundated with commercials declaring that the Indian casinos are untapped cash cows, and with the state in financial difficulties, the sponsors of this ad believe the casinos should be taxed at 25% - off the top.

I'll bet a lot of Ahnold's special interests are taxed at 25% - NOT.

My pal Susita is in town with her convention. We'll probably visit the aquarium tomorrow and brunch on the Queen Mary Sunday.

Creates Peace Paintings

Robert Indiana

More than 35 years after he offered the world love, Robert Indiana comes bearing peace.

The 75-year-old artist, best known for his 1960s LOVE series, has created 20 paintings in response to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Robert Indiana: Peace Paintings opened this week at the Paul Kasmin Gallery. Full of wordplay and bright colours, the works mix familiar pop art tropes with politics in a condemnation of American foreign policy.

While many of the paintings lament the loss of peace, two works exhort viewers to "Howl, shout, shriek, hoot and holler" for its return. But Indiana himself seems resigned to war.

Take Aim at Rappers

Black College Women

Maybe it was the credit card that rap superstar Nelly swiped through a woman's backside in a recent video. Here at Spelman, the most famous black women's college in the country, a feud has erupted over images of women in rap videos, sparking a petition drive and phone campaigns.

Misogyny in pop music, especially hip-hop, has been around for years. What's new, students say, is an explosion of almost-X-rated videos passed around on the Internet or shown late at night on cable channels like Black Entertainment Television, also known as BET.

Never before, students say, have the portrayals of black women been so hypersexual and explicit.

For the rest, Black College Women

Taiwan Wants Movie Banned

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan's next movie should be banned in Taiwan because of the actor's remarks about last month's presidential election, a senior ruling party lawmaker said.

At a news conference in Shanghai last month, the action star called Taiwan's disputed election "the biggest joke in the world."

Chan, who is married to a Taiwanese actress, is a frequent visitor to the island, where he has appeared in commercials for humanitarian causes.

Some Newspapers Pull

Doonesbury

A few newspapers around the country edited Friday's "Doonesbury" comic strip to remove an expletive used by a character injured while fighting in Iraq, and at least two newspapers pulled the strip altogether.

The strip's distributor, Kansas City-based Universal Press Syndicate, said newspapers weren't contractually allowed to edit the strip, and the syndicate said it planned to contact those that did.

Trudeau said he started the story line to illustrate the sacrifices American soldiers are making.

"We are at war, and we can't lose sight of the hardships war inflicts on individual lives," said Trudeau, who began writing "Doonesbury" in 1968 while a student at Yale University.

Met Opera & Texaco to Part

63 Years

Beverly Sills remembers Saturday afternoons when she was a child: Her mother did the ironing while they listened to the live radio broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera.

For 63 years, the broadcasts that reach 11 million listeners in 42 countries were sponsored by Texaco - back then called the Texas Company, run by oilman "Buckskin Joe" Cullinan. The world heard some of its greatest voices, including those of Maria Callas, Leontyne Price, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Sills herself.

This Saturday's broadcast is the last time "Texaco" - now called ChevronTexaco - will be linked to the Met.

For the last Texaco-linked broadcast - the longest continuous sponsorship in American radio history - the opera is Wagner's "Götterdammerung."

World Takes to Stage

Shakespeare's Birthday

London's Globe Theater on Friday invited all the world on stage to celebrate William Shakespeare's birthday.

The new Globe, on the banks of the River Thames, was the brainchild of the late U.S. actor-director Sam Wanamaker and has proved a roaring success over the last nine years, playing near to capacity every season from May to September, despite not receiving any state subsidy.

3-Story Mobile Taken Down

Alexander Calder

A 76-foot, three-story mobile that was the last big work of American sculptor Alexander Calder has been taken down from its dominating perch in the National Gallery of Art for refurbishing.

The half ton of aluminum and steel was dismantled under the guidance of artist-engineer Pierre Matisse, grandson of French Impressionist painter Henri Matisse.

"It should be back up by the end of 2005," said Deborah Ziska, spokeswoman for the gallery.

Uncover Rare Slave List

Archivists

A renegade census taker charged with recording the population of a rural North Carolina county in 1860 left behind a rare record of slave names.

The find by a state archivist researching his family background stunned historians and genealogists who routinely find slaves listed only by gender, age and color - black or mulatto.

The handwritten Camden County record, discovered over the summer, was compiled by census taker Jesse Bell and includes the first names of the slaves owned by each family. Under the entry for farmer A.P. Cherry, for example, Bell listed the names of 16 slaves - ranging from 55-year-old Moses to 3-month-old Enoch. The letter "S" is written beside each name on the 19-inch-by-15-inch yellowed ledger paper, which has the header "Free Inhabitants."

The names are not listed in the official federal index of the 1860 census.

Regrets Silico's Firing, Not Photo

Seattle Times

The firing of military contractor Tami Silicio, whose photograph of flag-draped coffins of American soldiers killed in Iraq was published Sunday by The Seattle Times, was met with negative reaction from the newspaper. Still, the Times stands by its decision to run the controversial image -- and claims that Silicio knew the risks.

"I'm happy the picture is out, but it broke my heart when I find out she lost her job," said Barry Fitzsimmons, the paper's photo editor. "The Times is very sad that Tami [was fired]."

In several e-mails and telephone conversations, Fitzsimmons told Silicio that publishing the photograph -- which depicts more than 20 coffins of fallen U.S. soldiers loaded on a cargo plane at Kuwait International Airport -- could bring repercussions.

But Silicio insisted that the Times run the photo to show the tremendous respect given to the soldiers' remains as they were loaded onto the plane for the trip home.

Kelly McBride, a member of the ethics faculty at the Poynter Institute, said, "This photo serves a journalistic purpose in causing the public to question the occupation of Iraq. The harm this photo causes is not to the families of those killed in Iraq but to the administration."

The exhibition opens Saturday, April 24, 2004 and runs through October 2005. The display, of 200 tribal art items from the 18th and 19th centuries, lays out the aesthetics of Indian creativity and settles the long debate about artistic merit with an emphatic yes.

Charity Fundraiser

Katie Couric

Beyonce, Harry Connick Jr. and Nathan Lane are among the performers lined up to belt out tunes from "South Pacific" on the world's largest cruise ship Saturday at a fund-raiser for Katie Couric's colorectal research organization.

About 1,000 people will attend the event, which is expected to raise at least $4 million, said Couric, the co-host of NBC's "Today" show. It will take place on the Queen Mary 2, which arrived in Manhattan for the first time Friday. At 151,400 tons, the liner is three times larger than the Titanic.

Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, Glenn Close and Jon Bon Jovi also are expected to attend the dinner and performance of Richard Rodgers' works, which includes "Oklahoma!" and "The Sound of Music."

Death Row rap label founder Marion "Suge" Knight was released from a California prison after serving 10 months for violating his parole on a 1997 assault conviction, a prison official said on Friday.

Described as a "model inmate," Knight was released on Thursday from Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Margot Bach said.

In Memory

Alex Madonna

Alex Madonna, whose whimsical and gaudy Madonna Inn on the state's central coast became a landmark and a world-famous tourist attraction, has died, associates said Friday. He was 85.

Madonna, who opened his famous pink inn in 1958 with 12 rooms and a bizarre waterfall urinal in the men's restroom that would become one of its biggest tourist draws, died Thursday of an apparent heart attack.

Born in 1918 on California's picturesque central coast, the hard-charging Madonna started a construction company before graduating from high school.

In building the inn he scrapped with local leaders when they balked at his unique vision, refusing to back down over plans for the eight-foot urinal which cascaded over a rock formation.

Over the years the Madonna Inn grew to 108 rooms, each individually designed with a unique theme and some with natural rock settings or waterfall showers. Among them are the "Yahoo" room, which features an authentic "buckboard" bed complete with wagon wheels, and the "Pick and Shovel" with a 31-foot-long couch.
