Where do these  treasures rightly belong? Sharon Waxman, a former culture  reporter for The New York Times and a longtime foreign  correspondent, brings us inside this high-stakes conflict,  examining the implications for the preservation of the  objects themselves and for how we understand our shared  cultural heritage.},
