...realized they couldn't get them relabeled on time. Wines costing $15 to $25 a bottle were going for under two bucks. Within a week after the deadline, at least 15,000 small stores, including expensive wine boutiques, went out of business. Shelves of imported alcohol have been stripped bare, except for lonely bottles of German alcohol-free wine. The posh Bosco Café in Red Square, Moscow, famous for its cocktails and elaborate wine list, now typically restricts its aperitif offerings to unimaginative gin or scotch, while patrons wash down fish dishes with overpriced Chianti from Bosco's depleted...

It's a rectangular oil panel: a group of adolescent Brahmins, bare-chested and with gleaming, sacred threads dangling around their torsos, sit cross-legged against a burgundy background. One of them stares at you, one turns away, and the central figure, with a white-and-red paint mark on his forehead, looks beyond you, as if seized by an inspiration...
