...smart move. Until Loyrette came along, they were appointed for life. "Five years would be better. You can't get anything done in three," says Bresc-Bautier, who was appointed by Loyrette after her predecessor retired. But then she'll start to talk about the $3.7 million Austrian bust that the Louvre was able to buy in New York for her department, and the ambitious exhibition of French bronzes she'll be putting on later this year. Not to mention the restoration budget, which is "incomparably bigger than it was a decade...

It wasn't the beauty of the young actress that stunned him, but rather the realization that what he was watching was a sight film historians and archivists from around the world had been desperate to see: the legendary missing scenes from Austrian-born director Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis...

He launched a stunning free kick, a stop-this-if you-can pile driver from outside the box that beat Austrian keeper Jürgen Macho to his left. In the Fan Zone, clusters of German fans celebrated, and those celebrants in front of me were greeted with a shower of beer, but that was the extent of the hooliganism. There simply wasn't much to get mad about. Austria wasn...
