Espresso lovers already know the name Illy. But Andrea Illy, 41, CEO of the coffeemaker, based in Trieste, Italy, and a grandson of its founder, wants the rest of the world to associate his family's name with the dark, silky brew too. Illy, a trained chemist, has high hopes that the Galleria Illy--a temporary café and showcase for the $265 million company's products, from coffee to espresso machines, that opened last month in Manhattan's trendy SoHo--will help him do that. He spoke with TIME's Dody Tsiantar about his plans...
DIED. LEO STERNBACH, 97, chemist and inventor of the widely used antianxiety drug Valium; at home in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Contrary to earlier speculation, the bombs used on July 7 and July 21 came from different batches of homemade explosive, says a British official, which means either the same "chemist" made different batches or more than one chemist is still on the loose. It remains unclear how--or even whether--each team is linked to al-Qaeda, and this raises the chilling specter of multiple jihadist cells operating on their own. A U.S. counterterrorism official says the British...
Back in 1994, when Houghton replaced Charles P. Slichter ’45, a beloved physicist and chemist at the University of Illinois, the swap of a businessman for an academic seemed to augur a marked corporatization of the Corporation. But Summers was taking the board in a slightly more specific direction. His appointees were pure economists by training, men most likely to concur with his empirical approach to university governance. And perhaps more importantly, the three economists—Summers, Rubin, and Reischauer, stewards of the golden era of the Clinton economy—were all pals. It would...
