Some of our people were detained. Some doctors are well known who have been in detention for months. [We have seen] different forms of injuries [including] bruises due to beating, electric shock, which led to the death. One case was electrocuted in the mouth and they kept electrocuting him until he died. I saw this…
A doctor now is considered more dangerous than those fighting with the [Syrian rebel group] Free Army, and anyone caught with drugs in his possession, the charges against him are more grave than being accused with possession of weapons. The average person is normally taken for days or up to a week, but doctors are detained for months.
A Syrian doctor
While Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been unable to work directly in Syria, we have collected testimonies from wounded patients treated outside the country and from doctors inside Syria.
The testimonies, which come from people hailing from various parts of the country, point to a coordinated crackdown on the provision of urgent medical care for people wounded in the ongoing violence.

“Let us cling together as the years go by,
Oh my love, my love,
In the quiet of the night
Let our candles always burn,
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned.”
Teo Torriatte, Queen
The May 19, 1958 TIME cover after Van Cliburn won the first Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Cliburn will be at LIVE on May 22 to discuss his piano career and becoming, essentially, a rock star in the eyes of the American public during the Cold War.
Another note about this cover: it was done by Robert Vickrey, who is responsible for painting many of the TIME covers at this time with egg tempera. A few years ago, I was in a used bookstore in Syracuse, NY and found a book titled, The Affable Curmudgeon. I bought it because I liked the name, and I was on a non-fiction essay kick. It was Vickrey’s makeshift journal, where he wrote about his experiences painting iconic figures for TIME alongside personal anecdotes of family life, and being at dinner parties he really didn’t want to be at. Vickrey passed away last year, but luckily, his works have been compiled and published by Philip Eliasoph in Robert Vickrey: The Magic of Realism.

Heifetz’s Last Recital — Happy listening. :)
Artist Jason de Caires Taylor creates life-size cement sculptures of people and submerges them into the waters of South America. As time passes the sculptures become part of the underwater landscape and slowly become artificial reefs ripe with marine life.
