...Belfry souvenir shop still say "Ryder Cup: 1927-2001," as do the flags, the websites and even the wrappers on the mints in the hospitality tents. The Belfry's Brabazon course, built on old potato fields in the '70s, is also much the same, including the famed 18th hole, with that ball-swallowing, dream-dashing lake guarding the green. The 12-man teams, too, are unchanged. Sort of. The captains - Sam Torrance of Europe and Curtis Strange of the U.S. - agreed to stick with the 2001 rosters, so players' form and fitness were beyond their control. Europe has Westwood...
...oule proclaim they are complet (full). The history of Nice, affectionately charted by Robert Kanigel in High Season in Nice (Little, Brown; 309 pages), effectively mirrors the history of tourism. From small beginnings as a Greek fishing village and Roman frontier outpost, the town developed slowly until the late 18th century, when the continent, for a change, was at peace and wealthy Europeans started to travel in search of different art, culture - and weather.

...Mindy Lewis (Atria; October), giving it a starred review. "In lyrical, honest language, a painter describes her adolescence in a New York psychiatric hospital. In 1967, 15-year-old Lewis was remanded to a psychiatric facility following charges of drug use and school truancies. She remained there until her 18th birthday. Her first person, present-tense narrative describes her life with other adolescents deemed 'unmanageable'....Complex, chilling, luminous: not one false step...
Patriotism", wrote Dr. Johnson in the 18th century, "is the last refuge of a scoundrel." Make that "campaigner" today, and take a look at pre-election Germany. In the aftermath of Sept. 11, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder pledged "unconditional solidarity" with the United States. Now, he is telling George W. Bush to count Germany out. "Under my leadership, this country won't participate in any adventures [against Iraq]," the Chancellor thundered. "We will go our own German way; we won't be roped in." Not even a U.N. mandate would make Berlin join...
