...looking forward to his summer vacation in his new Capri house, which Barbara designed. There he will take walks, eat a simple plate of pasta and go for a ride on the Candida, his 40-m J-class yacht. "People think I'm provincial because I don't go to Capri to go out. I want to enjoy my family," he says. It's enjoyment, as in "Dignity, duty and enjoyment...
...None of this prevented Homer's contemporaries from seeing such works as unvarnished and in some ways disagreeable truth. "Barbarously simple," thought Henry James. "He has chosen the least pictorial features of the least pictorial range of scenery and civilization as if they were every inch as good as Capri or Tangier; and, to reward his audacity, he has incontestably succeeded...
...tennis can get giddy once again. With his powerful ground strokes, hunky looks and seductive playfulness--not to mention the fluorescent shirts and white Capri pants--Nadal, 19, could give tennis its next real box-office star.

Even the murals around Tehran of scowling ayatullahs have been repainted to give them toothy smiles...
...away with singing almost anything on top of a good power chord. Don't believe it? Just ask the guys from Def Leppard. I hear they pour sugar on themselves in Capri this time of year. Coldplay's new album, X&Y, is brimming with the kind of ecstatic, levitating power chords destined to make the band super-rich and have their considerable fan base screaming happily into one another's faces at concerts. Almost all the album's 13 songs have been composed with stadiums in mind, and Jonny Buckland has mastered the art of making his guitar careen...
