Picaresque movies often feel longer than they are. For them to work, they need an interior spring with more thrust than Darjeeling's attempt at reconstituted brotherhood. The problem is in Anderson's approach, which is so supercool, it's chilly. In his elaborate visual construct, virtually every shot is followed by the camera's point of view shifting 90º or 180º--geometrically groovy but quickly predictable. Same goes for his stories, which rely on gifted people behaving goofily. Anderson has the attitude for comedy but not the aptitude. His films are airless. Humor under glass...
Elegance without arrogance is the mantra at Capella Castlemartyr in County Cork, Ireland, which opened in early August on 220 lush, wooded acres (90 hectares). With 100 rooms, "our approach is that of a small country hotel," says general manager Peter Bowling. Except that this one has dozens of private assistants who can arrange shark fishing for the adventurous. But if you just want to take a walk, that's fine too. They'll lend you a pair of Wellington boots to keep your feet dry and send the hotel's two Irish setters, Earl and Countess, with...
...which has just passed the U.S. as the world's top emitter. If Howard's aspirational goals - which emphasize clean technology and energy efficiency over hard emissions caps - get Beijing and Washington talking at the same table, this APEC summit would accomplish more than most. "Howard argues that his approach is the only way to bring major emitters - code for China and the U.S. - into an agreement, and that any agreement without them would be pointless," says Malcolm Cook, program director for Asia and the Pacific at Sydney's Lowy Institute for International Policy...

...come in the area of structural reform, which even Colin Heseltine, director of the APEC Secretariat in Singapore, describes as "rather dry." So far the organization has focused on reducing red tape, tariffs and other barriers between borders. It now wants to move behind borders, helping members harmonize their approach to business competition and regulation, product standards and corporate governance. A recent study at the Australian National University's College of Asia and the Pacific estimated that fully implementing such reforms would add over $100 billion a year to APEC's collective income. Structural reform "won't get banner headlines...
