MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

 "My baseball career started when one of my grammar school teachers organized a team of kids. I begged for a chance, but he ignored me because I wore thick glasses and I was small and skinny. No one had ever heard of wearing glasses when you played with a 'hard ball' in those days." Specs

Fight To The Death...


Robert Mitchum & Cary Grant

                            
On the morning of July 11, 1804, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr raised their dueling pistols and took aim. Hamilton, the former secretary of the treasury, and Vice President Burr were longstanding political rivals and personal enemies. Burr might have been the president instead of vice president, had it not been for Hamilton's interference. When Burr's term as vice president was almost over, he ran for governor of New York. Hamilton, once again, prevented Burr from winning by opposing his candidacy. Burr retaliated by challenging Hamilton to a duel.

Keith Haring in Brazil, Myopic Graffiti Artist


                                          


Keith Haring was a successful and popular artist. Haring’s original and instantly recognizable style, full of thick black lines, bold, bright colors, and graffiti-inspired cartoon-like figures, won him the appreciation of both the art world and the general public.

Keith Haring with Andy Warhol, the two artists painted several canvases that featured headlines about their friend, the young singer Madonna. This painting based on the July 9, 1985, New York Post refers to the media frenzy after nude photographs of Madonna, taken years earlier. Three works from the collaboration appropriate the metro edition’s headline “Madonna: ‘I’m Not Ashamed”.
