Museum cracks Andy Warhol ``time capsules''

PITTSBURGH -- If you think Andy Warhol's art celebrated the seemingly banal,
you should just get a look at the stuff he decided to keep for posterity.
The man was an inveterate pack rat.
Memos and letters. Receipts. Junk mail and cigarette packs. In cardboard
boxes stuffed full of clutter by the late Pop Art icon and his workers, the
flotsam of life _ including cheap religious portraits, in-flight menus and
boxing posters _ mingles with items like a pair of Clark Gable's shoes and
Warhol's own hand-crafted artwork.
One contained a gift from Salvador Dali, wax paper palettes the painter had
used. Another featured a Jean Harlow dress, shoved inside a manila envelope.
A third had rancid pizza dough inside, crawling with bugs.

Sale of Henry VIII Papers Barred
Mon May 13, 3:17 PM ET
By SUE LEEMAN, Associated Press Writer
LONDON (AP) - More than four centuries later, King Henry VIII's divorce is
still causing problems. The government is fighting to stop a unique document
from the much-married monarch's first and most celebrated divorce from being
sold overseas.
Arts Minister Baroness Blackstone on Monday barred the foreign sale of a
treatise that is credited with helping bolster arguments by Henry that he was
entitled to ditch Catherine of Aragon in favor of Anne Boleyn, the second of
his six wives.

Daley Papers to Be Donated to School
Wed May 15, 7:01 PM ET
By DON BABWIN, Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) - The late Mayor Richard J. Daley's children celebrated his
100th birthday Wednesday by promising to hand over papers from his years as a
political powerhouse to the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The papers, say university officials, will include correspondence,
photographs, official documents, speeches and newspaper clippings.
Michael Daley said his father kept notes and what he called a "diary" of
certain events. But exactly what the university will get remains unclear.

Questionable Documents Out of Auction
Wed May 15,10:29 AM ET
Manuscripts purported to be by the first American-born composer — now thought
to be the handiwork of an artful forger — have been withdrawn from auction.
The cache, touted as the work of Declaration of Independence signer Francis
Hopkinson when it turned up in storage this spring, was believed to have
included previously unknown songs and verses, along with the score of "The
Temple of Minerva," considered the first American opera.
