How many men and women who don’t endorse corruption have sat back waiting for the right moment to tell the world the truth? What is happening now, is that the frequency is changing and the truth cannot be contained any longer. What the biggest fear is, is those who have stolen millions worried about losing it. They’ve committed crimes men/women are spending their lives in jail for.

The idea is to show how the headless figures taught Rodin that the body could express emotion, as shown in his masterpiece 'The Kiss' and because he never visited Greece, experts say he may have picked up the idea from some of his 15 visits to the British Museum.

A multi-million-dollar Rodin bust of Napoleon was discovered hiding in plain sight — inside a New Jersey borough hall, officials said Friday. The 1908 sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, which art experts lost track of in the 1930s, was found in a corner of Morris County borough hall in Madison, city officials and art experts said.

In 1915, a few years after the invention of the movie camera, a young actor born in Russia, by the name Sacha Guitry, captured some of the greatest French artists and authors on film. Among others, he included Auguste Rodin, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, in his first film: a silent, 22 minute long film, called Ceux de Chez Nous (“those of our house”). Here, we wanted to share three short videos, featuring Rodin, Monet and Renoir working at their workshops, painting and sculpting.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News. This track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server. "The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed," one source said.

We enjoyed the Rodin exhibit at the National Gallery of Art and made this brief video of his work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmSuNoye3-M Before viewing his work, we heard a lecture regarding his relationship with his model and student, Camille Claudel.

Lawyers for a who's who of prominent Canadian businessmen, including Rolling Stones' tour manager Michael Cohl and broadcasting billionaire Allan Slaight, will appear in a Toronto court tomorrow to argue that a judge was wrong last year to let French authorities receive information critical of 28 plaster sculptures the businessmen owned and planned to donate to a small Ontario gallery. The dispute is the latest in a nearly six-year battle over the authenticity of a group of plasters attributed to the French master Auguste Rodin and destined for the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ont.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - A sculpture by French artist Auguste Rodin has been stolen from an exhibition at the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, police reported.

The earnings of many top university presidents are spiraling up toward $1 million a year, according to an annual survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education, rising far more quickly than faculty salaries. Forty-two presidents of private universities were paid $500,000 or more in the 2003 fiscal year, the most recent for which figures are available, compared with 27 presidents the previous year. Just two earned half a million in 1994. The highest-paid private university president, William R. Brody of Johns Hopkins University, earned $897,786 in university compensation, not counting at least $100,000 in annual pay for membership on several...
