More from the wonderful world of GRAFFITI AHT:

The beautiful losers in this show have come up against an unpleasant truth that wannabe avant-gardes always confront: In visual art, there's a big difference between wanting to rebel and actually making art that's new and dangerous. More often than not, rebellion just leads to cliches of rebelliousness. That must be why so much of the art that has recently come in off the street and into our museums has such clear precedents, to the point of seeming awfully derivative.

Translation: there are only so many ways to VANDALIZE -- and so many ways to reach AHT writers.

According to PETRA, Muslim Ulama (scholars and thinkers) on Wednesday expressed their appreciation for His Majesty Abdullah's relentless efforts in highlighting the true image of Islam and fighting the unjust campaigns to which Islam is subjected.

The scholars and thinkers sent today a cable to His Majesty in which they affirmed that scholars and thinkers from different Islamic school thought seized the occasion of the conclusion of their conference to express their appreciation and thanks for His Majesty's warm and generous host the prominent scholars received during their stay in Amman.

They also expressed appreciation for His Majesty's inaugurating speech in which the King deep-rooted the image of Islam which is unifying the adherents of the eight Islamic school thought and the mutual acknowledgement of all schools of Islamic thought.

They also praised Jordan's role in highlighting the true image of Islam and fighting all forms of unjust campaigns and accusations Islam is facing. And they commended the role of Hashemite family members in serving Islam and Muslims.

Although estimates by Live 8 organizers that the 10 worldwide concerts were watched by "billions" of viewers could not be substantiated, AOL claimed that its Internet coverage established a new record for a live video cybercast, with 5 million viewers logging on. The BBC said that it averaged 7.8 million viewers between 6:00 p.m. and midnight, while France's M6 said that its peak number was 1.9 million (between 8:00 p.m. and 8:45 pm.). Canada's CTV said that 10.5 million people tuned into at least part of its 18-hour telecast. (Most -- if not all -- countries took the "Live" part of "Live 8" to heart and did not employ a time delay. The BBC said that it received about 400 complaints about swearing by some of the performers, adding that it was "sorry that viewers were offended by swearing and apologize especially to those who were watching with children.") In the U.S., MTV said that figures would not be available until Wednesday. However, Nielsen reported that ABC's two-hour telecast of highlights of the concerts drew only 2.9 million viewers, despite the fact that it included performances by some of the concert's biggest stars.

ANOTHER IMMORTAL:

Wasserman's last years were not happy. He sold MCA to Japanese electronics firm Matsushita in 1990 for $6.1 billion, ending up with $327 million for his stock. But he never got along with his new bosses, and they never bothered to tell him when they unloaded a controlling stake to Canadian drinks firm Seagram Co. a few years later.

He was given the meaningless title of chairman emeritus, and reduced to dining alone at the Universal commissary. He died in 2002, aged 89. In the film, Avrich claims some people turned up to his memorial service to make sure he was dead.

Early sales have taken a relatively small bite out of Warner Books' first printing of 101,000 copies.
