...solemn moment, the formal swearing in of Singapore's third Prime Minister in 39 years of independence. Some 1,400 guests?the cream of the city-state's ?lite, as well as hawkers and taxi drivers?gathered last week on the lawns of the stately colonial mansion that houses the offices of Singapore's President and Prime Minister. But despite his reputation for formality, the man taking over as Singapore's new premier, 52-year-old Lee Hsien Loong, repeatedly flashed a broad smile as he strode to the dais to take the oath of office. And that surprising grin...
...place is safe from the postmodern obsession with all things natural and New Age. Not even the medieval English town of Totnes. Nestled in the lush pastures and wheat fields near Dartmoor in southern Devon, Totnes for decades made a quiet living from cream teas, antiques and postcards. But these days, it's a magnet for urban refugees running the kind of bohemian business normally associated with trendy metropolitan neighborhoods.

...Today, however, the cream of the world's players all tend to play their professional soccer in European clubs, where they're expected to conform to the discipline of the local coaching system. Not that individual skill and flair is completely knocked out of Brazilians turning out in England or Spain, simply that it's placed within the frame of a large, more disciplined and organized team effort. The European clubs seek the silky ball handling skills, speed and unpredictability of players who play the Brazilian game - whether from Latin America, Africa or even France or Portugal...
