...French philosopher André Glucksmann, considered one of the intellectual fathers of the May 1968 movement in Paris, is one of a growing number of atheist intellectuals who have praised the Pope for his call for a shared morality based on reason. He sees Ratzinger's campus experience 40 years ago as a "generational" effect that actually has its roots in an earlier, more cataclysmic turning point in perceptions of the world's workings. "The decline of faith has little to do with '68, Glucksmann told TIME. "It came from the end of World War I, when people stopped thinking...
...indeed. The flowing Spanish football that had destroyed Russia, undid Sweden and overcame Greece with its second team was the last thing Italy needed to see. So the Italians shunted the Spanish to the outside and shut down anything coming up the middle. They so frustrated the normally dynamic Andrés Iniesta that he was pulled in the 59th minute along with his running mate Xavi Hernández.

Béatrice André-Salvini, a curator at the Louvre, says it marks the first major exhibition devoted to Babylonian history, an omission that owed in large part to practical considerations. "The essence of Babylon is scattered," she says, noting that museums in 13 countries from Austria to Saudi Arabia loaned items...
...Andrés Duany is writing the blueprint for a greener human habitat. The Miami-based architect is the co-founder, with his wife Elizabeth Plater-Zybek, of the firm DPZ, and over the years he's become a leader in what's called New Urbanism. It's a philosophy of design that tackles not so much buildings themselves as the entire built environment. Duany and his peers in New Urbanism want to stem suburban sprawl in favor of medium-density towns and neighborhoods where houses, offices, shopping and leisure activities would all be within a walkable space. The automobile...
