...with the disabled and the son of a German farmer, as the Piano Man, the mute, suit-clad pianist whose silence stumped health authorities and the British media for months after he was discovered wandering a beach in April; in Kent, England. Grassl spoke for the first time on Aug. 19, telling doctors he had lost his job in Paris and was attempting to commit suicide on the beach when police found him. Recent reports have suggested his piano skills were exaggerated and his muteness faked, but Grassl's lawyer maintains he was suffering from psychotic illness. "I am fine...
...ARRESTED. MOULANA FARIDUDDIN MASUD, 60, one of Bangladesh's leading Islamic clerics; in connection with more than 430 simultaneous bomb attacks across Bangladesh on Aug. 17 that killed two people and injured 125; in Dhaka.

Police say he is suspected of having links to Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, a banned extremist group which claimed responsibility for the attacks and last week warned of further violence if the government does not agree to introduce Islamic law in Bangladesh. Masud denies...

With Plans, the band moves to the hulking multinational Atlantic, and even though big record companies are in danger of mismanaging themselves into irrelevance, the major...
...implications of the "Evolution Wars" over teaching intelligent design along with Darwinian theory are primarily philosophical, not scientific [Aug. 15]. To suggest that stimulating debate about evolution would hamper U.S. leadership in science and technology is ridiculous. Teaching the controversy can challenge students like me to think analytically about what we are learning...
What Prison Break (Mondays, 9 p.m. E.T.; premieres Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. E.T.) lacks in plausibility--basically, everything--it makes up for in plotting, pacing and panache. Once in the clink, Scofield sets in motion a complex Swiss watch of an escape plan. He tracks down brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell), who is being held in isolation. He feigns diabetes to get access, for unknown reasons, to the medical facilities. He enlists the help of a Mafia boss (Peter Stormare, playing against Nordic type) by finding--don't ask how--the witness protection-sheltered stoolie who fingered him. He cozies...
