With valuable real estate and the town's harbor hanging in the balance, Chatham voters must decide whether to try to push back the sandsCHATHAM -- From Minister's Point in North Chatham, where million-dollar houses ring Pleasant Bay, the breach in Nauset Beach makes for gorgeous scenery: Where a bar of pale sand once stretched uninterrupted across the horizon, blocking the force of the ocean, blue-green water now swirls through a widening gap. The 1,000-foot break in the landscape, picturesque as it is, has raised weighty questions about how this town at the elbow of Cape Cod should respond.

Roger Goodell, Arlen Specter Say Bill Belichick Has Taped Patriots ...

Obviously, this is just the tip of the iceberg or we wouldn't even be aware of the problem. Statistical theory bears this out. You just don't get caught the first time you stick your hand in the cookie jar. Law enforcement officials agree that the average DUI offender "gets away with it" over 200 times before getting caught. And everyone seems comfortable labeling Belichick a "genius" so how many more times than the "average" person would you suppose he can get away with something illegal before getting nailed? Meanwhile, during this time they won 3 Super Bowls, each by a mere 3 points. How much do you suppose you need to cheat to gain a three point advantage over the course of an entire football game. You are right, their dynasty isn't tarnished; it's history!

Instead, he brought out The Game and Will.I.Am, who was on crutches for some reason. (Proably dancing too hard) How crazy is it that the BEP front man caught a major brick this year, while Fergie went on to do superlative things? Ah, who cares. I like Willie. Anyway, I wonder if Nas is going to drop next month still. Somehow, I don't see it happening. I want to get a new Nas CD though. He's the man... the N-Word Man.

This is what I want to see, some real dudes talking some real stuff.

Pop culture in fine art's home

In 1998, the Guggenheim Museum in New York staged "The Art of the Motorcycle" and drew a record number of visitors. That was followed two years later by a tribute to Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, prompting some critics to proclaim it a thinly veiled advertisement for the designer's clothes.

Portraits by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz and Pop artist Andy Warhol were the most well visited exhibits at the Miami Art Museum in recent years. Even the staid Metropolitan Museum of Art has capitalized on fashion and celebrity to boost attendance. In 2001, the New York museum showcased clothes and jewelry worn by first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Both Lippman and Delson see the Princess Di extravaganza, with its emphasis on fashion, as similar to the Jackie-O show.
