...Friday morning Rice and Straw arrived at a South Asian-?migr? dominated math-tech magnet school, only to be greeted by about 200 anti-war demonstrators, including some 50 students who ?skived? - played hookey - to join the protest. Later in the day, students at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, established by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney in a rambling building where he and George Harrison had attended high school, booed and donned T-shirts that said, "No torture, No compromise." Saturday's planned visit to the Masjide Al-Hidayah mosque in Blackburn was scrubbed, according to the BBC, because some...
...capital markets may be starting to play more of a role: Manchester United is traded on the London Stock Exchange, and one of its largest shareholders is American. The west-London club Chelsea look set to debunk the maxim that success can't be bought, following its acquisition by ?migr? Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who has added close to $200 million to the team's war-chest for buying as many of the world's best players as they can find. And the fans of Liverpool F.C., whose status as a local icon may be even greater than that...

...field is Asia's musical ascendancy more evident than the piano. By the end of the 20th century, the long-reigning archetype of the keyboard virtuoso, the temperamental Eastern European ?migr?, in the mold of Artur Rubinstein, was on the decline; impresarios, critics and audiences were growing despondent at the dimming of star magnetism among the new generation of players. The scene was set for Lang Lang and Yundi Li, two young Chinese musicians who are today the emerging stars of the rarefied world of concert-hall pianism. Both men were born in 1982, and have exclusive recording contracts with...
...generation's fear of war is made transparent. That is the true subject of a collection that begins in 1925 and ends in 1955. Here even the most whimsical of images, Eric Thake's Happy Landing, 1939, speaks of the turbines of warfare. It was war that brought German ?migr? Hein Heckroth to Australia. His brief detention in rural N.S.W. resulted in one of the show's loveliest works, Surreal Landscape, 1940, in which one of Max Ernst's birds seems to have settled on the sun-bleached scrub...
