AEGiS-AP: Patient: Animal Organs Not Accepted Jeffrey Getty, an AIDS patient, said his health improved markedly after he received an experimental transplant of baboon bone marrow, but he found that people were horrified at the idea.

Granted, Getty's revenue growth isn't quite as impressive as it appears at first glance, because included in the $104.8 million are a full quarter's results from rival The Image Bank, which the acquisitive Getty snapped up last November, and Visual Communications Group, which Getty acquired a week before the first quarter's close.

Mary Adams Oral History Interview Conducted by Paul Karlstrom for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Getty would not permit her to be put to sleep, I guess, and that irritated Valentiner enormously, because he thought that cruel. He felt at odds with Getty over Getty's, what he called his “inhumanness”, his lack of understanding of social problems of people, his cruelties, his social cruelties, and he felt that very inhuman and uncivilized, but he was willing to overlook that.

Getty Museum I was at the Getty at 11 am on a Saturday morning in March 1998 and folks who'd arrived by bus had to stand on line for about an hour before earning the right to stand on line for another 20 minutes before boarding the tram. Greenspun is in favor of the Getty's presentation and his text is a bit misleading as he does not really specifiy the actual thing he is endorsing. While the Getty Museum is an architectural landmark, there is no question in my mind that it does not have the finest art collection in the city. www.photo.net /ca/getty.html   (2207 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) A marble head of Achilles once displayed at the J. Paul Getty Museum as a 2,300-year-old work of art was probably made this century by a student working from a plaster model, an official said. Getty officials don't know who crafted the phony Achilles head, but plaster casts were a popular teaching tool in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Other evidence proving the head to be a fake were scientific tests on the marble that found the Getty head was made of an entirely different kind of marble than the Greek museum piece, said Ms. ils.unc.edu /~viles/172i/users/big/docs/AP881103-0137   (493 words)

SportsShooter.com - Getty NHL Hockey Memo Getty is not stupid -- they're relying on photographers to be shortsighted and they're generally not disappointed. Getty stands just as much of a chance of breaking even on that $57.14, after personnel, administrative, and infrastructure expenses as the “photographer” who took the $300.00 buyout does after factoring in his camera equipment, computer, cards, rent, and gas to get to the rink — that is to say, none. Getty management’s only problem with this proposal, unfortunately, seems to be that they have finally gotten caught in the act. www.sportsshooter.com /message_display.html?tid=14341   (6235 words)

According to Getty, they don't have the initiative and independence, and maybe also the self-confidence, of those on the first two groups.

Canadian Football Books Don Getty--if one considers his political career a success!) have also been included. His statement that the CRU adopted a system of downs in 1897 has absolutely no basis in fact, and his reconstruction of the pre-1891 years is particularly misleading. One of my Classics professors had a wonderful way of describing the first edition of the Cambridge Ancient History: "It was bad when it came out, and time has only made it worse." The same applies to significant parts of this often-encountered book. www.geocities.com /Colosseum/5743/books.htm   (2470 words)

tBLOG - The Capital Letter Don Brash, leader of the National Party, and his campaign strategist, Murray McCully, will be the ones who (rightly) take the rap for botching what was looking a very promising campaign through incompetence, uncertainty and (though I hate to use the word) flip-flops. It ought to be possible for her to form a centre-left coalition government with the Progressives (1 seat), the Greens (6 seats) and the Maori Party (4 seats) with some sort of confidence and supply agreement with New Zealand First.
