ART
1. Gymnasts Star at Venice Biennale

At the Venice Biennale, the Puerto Rican artists Jennifer Allora and
Guillermo Calzadilla are "presenting some of the best art I've seen at
any Biennale," The Daily Beast's Blake Gopnik writes. The materials are
certainly novel: Their work includes two gymnasts performing live
routines on the exhibition floor.

WAR CRIMES
2. Ratko Mladic's Extradition Appeal Rejected

After lawyers for suspected war criminal Ratko Mladic filed an appeal
claiming their 69-year-old client was too mentally and physically unfit
to be extradited to The Hague to face charges-a move that many viewed as
a stalling tactic-judges formally rejected the appeal on Tuesday, paving
the way for a quick handover to a U.N. tribunal. The former Bosnian Serb
general will be extradited to The Hague "as soon as possible,"
prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic told the Associated Press. Mladic's
attorney said the ex-general was very emotional during a farewell visit
from his wife and sister. Mladic is being charged with atrocities
committed by his troops during the Yugoslav war, in particular the
notorious 1995 Srebrenica massacre, which left 8,000 Muslim men and boys
dead in a bout of "ethnic cleansing"-the worst atrocity against
civilians in Europe since World War II.
