An argument between construction workers escalated into a demolition derby-style clash that left at least two bulldozers flipped over in a street.
But by offering details about pictures in this manner, are museums
fundamentally missing the point of what art is all about? One man who
believes that they are is the British philosopher Alain de Botton, whose
new book, Art as Therapy,
co-written with the art theorist John Armstrong, is a polite but
provocative demolition of the way that museums and galleries routinely
present art to the public.

European Union extends cabotage rights to airlines from all member
countries. A French airline can operate a domestic route between two
Italian cities; an Italian airline can do the reverse. Outside the EU,

America, local airlines are protected by a bevy of rules. But the most
obvious one is a near-total ban on cabotage rights for foreign airlines.
