...First, Bush came upon a clutch of elderly women dressed in brightly colored traditional dress from the 19th century. Influenced by German colonialists,they wore what looked like modified ball gowns. Rather than the brilliant colors of other African nations, these women expressed themselves through the clash of bold checks and even more striking patterns. Dresses banged against shawls, which ricocheted off their headdresses, synched tightly in a "T" of fabric perpendicular to their faces and resting more than a foot in length on their foreheads...
...with neighboring Pakistan. At home, Vajpayee's star has never been higher. The opposition Congress Party is asleep on its benches. Last month Vajpayee quashed a leadership challenge from within his own Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by supporters of hard-line Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani.

Peck wasn't just an icon. He was an actor, a smart one. He picked hit properties in a wide variety of genres: romantic comedy (Roman Holiday), action (The Guns of Navarone), horror (The Omen).

But the breakthrough came in the bold new Mexican-led Berlin Initiative - co-sponsored by 12 anti-whaling European countries, plus Kenya, Brazil, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Its architect, Andrés Rozental, a former Deputy Foreign Minister and ex-ambassador to the U.K., had mobilized support from "like- minded" countries - and signing up southern...
...franchising plan ever launched by a museum. And he's been taking more heat than even Venice in summer can throw at him. Satellites of the museum's New York City flagship are already open in Bilbao and Berlin as well as Venice, but the next phase of the bold plan has run into a wall of financial and political trouble. In May, one of Krens' most cherished projects - the Rem Koolhaas-designed Guggenheim Museum Las Vegas - closed due to plummeting attendance a mere two years after its much-hyped opening. And last month, a Brazilian judge dramatically halted Krens...
