FILE - In this May 22, 2013 file photo, artist Ai Weiwei speaks to journalists at the courtyard of his studio in Beijing. Ai, who helped make his name smashing a valuable vase in the name of art, said Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014 that he was miffed about another artist destroying one of his vases in Florida. Maximo Caminero was charged with criminal mischief after destroying a vase valued at $1 million that was part of Ai's exhibit at the Perez Art Museum Miami. The Florida artist said he smashed the vase Sunday, Feb. 16 to protest the institution's lack of displays of local artists. Ai said Wednesday that he did not agree with Caminero's tactic.

FILE - In this Feb. 5, 2014 file photo, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. The debate about whether to continue the dragnet surveillance of Americans' phone records is highlighting divisions within the Democratic and Republican parties that could transform the politics of national security. While some leading Democrats have been reluctant to condemn the National Security Agency's tactics, the GOP has begun to embrace a libertarian shift opposing the spy agency's broad surveillance powers _ a striking departure from the aggressive national security policies that have defined the Republican Party for generations.
