Nazi gold: Apparently, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. Some guy just coughed up more than $36 million for a townscape by the Austrian expressionist artist Egon Schiele auctioned off at Sotheby's this week. Why so much money? The painting in question was looted by the Nazis in 1938 and was finally returned to its owner earlier this year. Oh, those Nazis.
