...represent the institution in public. That may explain why the famously dyspeptic Scalia has become a merry mainstay on the A-list Washington social circuit of late. At parties ranging from a charity dinner at the Kuwaiti embassy two weeks ago to an Inaugural lunch at D.C.'s chic Caf?? Milano, guests have been surprised to find the once reclusive Scalia mixing with the city's power brokers, making small talk and telling jokes. "Lately, I've been running into Nino everywhere," says a friend and fellow lawyer. "He's showing that he actually can be charming and gregarious...
...instead. Stubbing Them Out ITALY Police in Naples handed out the first €27 no-smoking fine just past midnight on Jan. 10, minutes after the introduction of a nationwide ban on lighting up in public places. The ban prevents Italy's estimated 14 million smokers from puffing in cafés, restaurants and offices unless there is a separate smoking room.

In 1916 the German poet Hugo Ball, who lived in Zurich at the time, opened a café-cum-theater called Cabaret Voltaire, where Tzara, Hans Arp and other nonconformist artists gathered. It was in the Cabaret's upstairs room that the group is said to have decided to find a name as incongruous as their free-form art. They randomly inserted a knife into a French...
...friend Sébastien about her father, Lolita goes from pushover to pissed off in an instant. "I don't hate him," she says. "I just want him dead." The dialogue is tack-sharp and finely polished, but still so natural it could have floated out of any café on any street corner of Paris. Like other films Bacri and Jaoui have written together, Look at Me uses gentle satire to convey moral lessons: inner beauty trumps physical beauty, creative integrity is more important than success. The biggest lesson is on the fragile balance of power...
