The views of Vincent

Article Abstract:

The town of Arles, France, has close associations with artist Vincent Van Gogh. He arrived in the town in Feb 1888 in search of clear air and bright colours, linking these very closely with the Japanese prints he greatly admired. Visitors to the town can see the places where he worked, where replicas of his paintings have been placed. The cafe where he painted 'Cafe Terrace at Night' has been restored, and there is a permanent exhibition celebrating his life and work at the Van Gogh Foundation.

Football's finest failure

Article Abstract:

In Sept 1995, Walker topped Walter Payton's total-yards-gained record and not even Walker noticed it at first. His career has been marked with praise and criticism exaggerated by the player's personal life style. Some of his behavior such as studying ballet for balance, is seen as odd by some.
