By Philip Mould
I should never have risked it. Looking back now I would never try it again. But put yourself in my position, a hunter of paintings who had recently realised the consummate joy of being able to surf the worlds auctions without even having to move from my desk. In the mid 1990&#8217;s EBay [...]]]></description>

Theresa&#8217;s temporary home in Edinburgh, 12 Randolph Road (I was staying at 39 Randolph Avenue), was covered in scaffolding when I visited it for the first time. The house was clearly in a state of overhaul: dust covered the windows and paint flaked from its walls.  There were paint cans and brushes [...]]]></description>

ALMOST HALF a century ago, Martin Luther King Jr. captured a problem that still plagues us today. Cautioning his flock against the complacent embrace of incomplete knowledge, he warned: “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.’’
I have thought of those words often in the last [...]]]></description>

By Gene Kritsky
Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the architect who designed St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, is also known for designing one of the first wooden box bee hives.  Unlike the typical box hive we use today, Wren’s hive was octagonal.
In Wren’s day, beekeepers preferred to use the skep hive, an inverted basket that was fashioned [...]]]></description>

Mrs. Rowe would never have called herself a feminist.

Yet, women everywhere can look at the founder of the [...]]]></description>

The king&#8217;s underwear or a historical document&#8211;what was in those chests?
Like a river branching into many streams, there are endless fascinating side issues related to Howard Carter&#8217;s discovery of King Tut&#8217;s tomb.  Take the chests supposedly containing Tut&#8217;s underwear:  when Carter first opened them he took the folded linen inside for [...]]]></description>

On April 17, 1610, the English sea captain Henry Hudson maneuvered his small ship called Discovery out of St. Katherine’s dock in London toward the Northwest Passage, the water route Europeans believed connected the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. On board were twenty-two men and two boys, one of whom was Hudson’s seventeen-year [...]]]></description>

When we began researching our biography of Sara Baartman we thought we knew what we would find.  Two white men brought Sara Baartman to 19th-century London, where she was put on show in Piccadilly.  Every study, every bit of popular knowledge representing Sara Baartman&#8217;s life as the &#8220;Hottentot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Edith B. Gelles
There are parallels between Presidents Adams and Obama, ways in which our current president can take comfort and, perhaps, learn lessons from this long gone predecessor. Strange as this coupling may appear, there are overarching similarities between them that should offer lessons from history for the new president.
Unlikely though real, both Adams [...]]]></description>
