Mary is willing to endure a long walk even if it pains her for the sake of not being left out. I disagree with Mary’s approach.I watched the new Persuasion with an open mind. But I am not going to do something that I hate or

Nazis conducted a decade’s worth of plunder and manipulation in the art world that was unprecedented, Mathews noted. Before the Nazi’s began WWII in 1939, plans had been in the works for years to both control art – what was created and what was destroyed – as well as stealing art from galleries, Jewish collectors and patrons and national archives to create a mega-collection in Linz, Austria.
