Bloggers felt blue last week after the Smurf village was bombed in a TV spot for the Belgian branch of U.N. children's agency UNICEF. The ad, meant to highlight the toll of war on children, had STEADY DIET OF NOTHING waxing philosmurfical: "It has garnered more interest than actual dead human beings. Smurfs don't get bombed every day, I guess." THE 10 OF CLUBS praised the attack, which kills Smurfette, as a "brilliant practical application of psychology" to jar today's jaded world out of complacency. And ERIK'S RAMBLINGS warned of more carnage, imagining a PETA...
...Blake duplicate it? Agassi looks healthy and on his game, but even his longtime trainer, Gil Reyes, wonders if the eight-time Grand Slam winner can recover from yesterday's three-hour, five-set match against Belgian Xavier Malisse to keep up with Blake, one of the most athletic players on tour.

She declines to divulge her age, but admits to a convent-school upbringing, a stint in London squats and three years singing in a Belgian dance company before starting art school back in the British capital. As the result of a performance-art piece in the early 1990s - she was singing while milking a cow at a party - she caught the attention of the electronic duo Orbital. She lent her voice to their recordings, then...
...lively group of Spanish students jostles at the visitors’ entrance to the European Parliament. It’s time for the official daily tour of the Parliament building, and, a first-time visitor to the Belgian capital, I am an eager participant. Yet when the tourists line up beside a guide, my heart sinks at the memory of dreary college campus tours in high school. The Spanish students instead are led off by their professors in another direction. They are on their own visit to the Parliament, and in hopes that no one will notice, I find myself...
