Clink These Links: Lucy Meets the Press, Flames Skirt Ancient Olympia, “Pollocks” Meet the Public

Did you want to see the press grill officials of the Houston Museum of Natural Science about the controversial I Love Lucy show of the 3.2 million-year-old skeleton fossil, shipped here (very carefully) from Ethiopia? Now you can—in a live webcast tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10 a.m.
John F.L. Ross of the Associated Press reports that firefighters battling blazes that are ravaging Greece managed to contain the spread of the flames just in time to spare the museum and ancient ruins of Olympia: “Although the pristine forest around Ancient Olympia was burned, none of the ruins were damaged.”
The Boston Tea Party Museum wasn’t as lucky.
The public will get its first look at the Matter “Pollocks” beginning Saturday at the McMullen Museum of Boston College, reports Geoff (the Blogmobiler) Edgers, in an in-depth Boston Globe story. But the much-doubted works “will not be credited to any artist in the McMullen show.” The catalogue will explore the relationship between Pollock and photographer Herbert Matter, whose son Alex discovered the paintings in a storage locker that had been rented by his father.
