Getty to return 26 antiquities to Italy amid stalled talks
The J Paul Getty Museum will return 26 antiquities to Italy on Tuesday, ending negotiations over 20 other objects after an unacceptable ultimatum. It proposes transferring title of its Aphrodite statue while probe into origin continues, but rejects Italy’s demand to include a 2500-year-old bronze athlete statue. A Greek criminal case also emerges as Athens prosecutors recommend charges against former curator Marion True over a looted funerary wreath. The 26 pieces include a 300 B.C. marble griffins sculpture a 300 B.C. ceremonial water bowl and a 100 A.D. marble Apollo statue.

Wal-Mart said it would avoid unrestricted gifts and continue targeted work with gay rights groups. Critics said the move was unclear and questioned whether Wal-Mart caved to pressure while another group weighed its actions beyond the pledge.
