...Some theories are even more inventive. In the 1920s, a Brit named Alfred Watkins attempted to connect Stonehenge with other sites in England, arguing that when taken together, they served as landmarks to navigate through the island once dense, now vanished, ancient forest. He called these routes "ley lines" and the theory developed a sizable following, though trained archaeologists were dubious about this amateur's theory. Another hypothesis is that the configuration is meant to resemble a giant vulva, as a means of tribute to an ancient fertility god. Others argue that Stonehenge was a place of ancient healing...
...understand just how great, listen to the pair's fifth album, Welcome to Mali, out March 24. Following up on their 2005 breakthrough, Dimanche à Bamako, which was produced by France-raised Spaniard Manu Chao and topped critics' lists worldwide, Amadou and Mariam recruited another international rock star, Brit Damon Albarn, for a cameo.

Trained by his father Enzo, Calazaghe captured his first world title in 1997, beating fellow Brit Chris Eubank, and went on to defend it 21 times straight. His victory over the hitherto undefeated American Jeff Lacy in March 2006 was hailed as career-defining, but Calzaghe has always maintained that his triumph over the Danish WBC and WBA champion Mikkel Kessler in front...
