highlights include letters from michelangelo, document outlining napoleon's coronation ceremony, andor an annulment of marriage. more than 1,000 scholars actually take a look from 50 countries every year. as you check it out, jacksonvi florida, is today's pick city. sunny, hot. s 94 degrees. and for today in the radar satellite, you can see we've got a risk of strong storms stretching from the mid mississippi river valley into the central plains. rain in the pacific northwest. much cooler in the northeast after that frontal system went through and closed those tornadoes. we've got, again, the risk of storms in the southeast. >>> well, most of the bay area is going to get a pretty nice dry break heading throughout this afternoon. maybe a few isolated showers, nothing heavy. 64 in san rafael. 60 in oakland. and 64 in los gatos. heading through the weekend, our next significant round of rain arrives late friday into saturday. the coast in particular will just get dumped on. 70 degrees by sunday. you're at 68 on monday. >>> and that's your latest weather from rome. meredith. >> al, thank

leo tanguma is no michelangelo. this is pornography. this is not art. >> all right.ve that big a package, did you? how do they even waddle? second of all, those of you watching should know that the man he mentioned, the artist named leo tanguma, we e-mailed him for comment. he didn't get back to us. not wanting to mix it up with the sign of the armageddon isn't a true artist, we don't know what it is. i'm willing to let the rapture claim victory on the dirty, dirty penguin packing heat. but fails to back up any other claims about hidden phalluses at the airport. >> many of the shapes on the horse's tail and mane are phallic shapes. >> whatever you do, no do not get william the conquerer get started on the outdoor baggage handling area. >> the outdoor area is the n the shape of a phallus. outside the testicle area and out here the phallus. >> however william wants to handle his baggage, that's his business. i don't want an argument. i don't want to anger the fifth beatle of the beelzebub anymore than i already have. what can we do for you? >> mr. cooper, it is time fo

it was not dreamed up of the romantics but by those giorgio in the 16th century who describes michelangelo's painting and their melancholy disposition was of their black bile. and that art really is kind of -- it's a sort of positive relationship and i think this is true between a patron, an artist and the way the artist perceives the competition he has before him. and the competition he really wants to beat in some way which artists are very susceptible. enough have that. i felt it had gone too far that way. it's historically obively a fortification of the way artists conceived of their own activity at not all the time but at some moments of crisis. and it's not it's only a romantic melodramatic way of writing for artists to have. they really do have them, you know, there are no great artist who did not have a incredible difficult moment of composition and there's some artist who lived their life of imperfemome and cezanne had a life of cruelty and violence which is ironic. i wanted to really reinstate the notion of a kind of heroic narratives of the artist. .. >> the painting that rembrand

michelangelo alioto-pier for your -- michaela alioto-pier for your support and trust of me. i am grateful and inspired by that show of support. but more importantly, i was inspired by what it portends. a new era of trust. a shared sense of purpose and commitment to this city that we all love. a sense of unity. i may be your interim mayor, but i intend to utilize this year and office to tackle our problems with resolve and seriousness of purpose. this is an unprecedented opportunity and perhaps it is just what san francisco needs at this time and in our moment of history. ness an opportunity to come together -- this is an opportunity to come together, to roll up our sleeves and go to work on the significant challenges we all face. for the benefit of all san franciscans. i hope to move us past the labels that have pigeonholed us at city hall or at least to not be bound by them. because if you're a so-called moderate, then i'm a moderate. i've spent the past two decades trying to make this city work, to work for all of us. for its entire history, people have flocked to san fran
