TWO WOUNDED ROBBERS ARRESTED
Philadelphia , PA – February 14, 2007
At 7:10 p.m. three suspects armed with handguns and wearing masks entered a retail jewelry store and robbed cash and a large amount of jewelry. An employee out on meal break returned to the store while the robbery was in progress. When the owner yelled out to the returning employee, the robbers were distracted. The owner then pulled out his own gun, and a gun battle erupted. The robbers fired, and at least one bullet went through the front window of the store and out to the street. In the gun battle, two of the robbers were shot, and the jeweler was unharmed. About 20 minutes later the police were flagged down by a woman who reported that two men who appeared to be shot were in a car nearby. A gun and an item of the stolen jewelry were found near the car. The two wounded suspects were taken to the hospital, and were charged with robbery, assault and other crimes. More JSA's Most Wanted
| Is it Art? Is it Craft?
Copyright © Charles Lewton-Brain 2004 -Ganoskin The Art versus Craft issue is a complex question and one that has bedeviled creators a great deal in the last fifty years or so. I once heard a gallery owner say that the difference between an art object and a craft object is $3000. The American Craft Council's director Carmine Branagan says that the discussion is unimportant, that the craft/art debate is one of craftspeople talking to themselves, about issues that do not matter at all to the general public - they do not care about this particular debate. She holds that if we are educating the culture as makers then the real issue is getting the work and what it means out and before the public, especially through galleries, museums and publications, the validators in society.
