...national anthem. That is to say, they actually sang the words - must have been a well-educated bunch - and produced a massive American flag. It was, in fact, quite moving. Sam's Army, as they are known, were ready for battle, and more than a match for the Czech fans who outnumbered them in the stands...
Britain has the seventh highest divorce rate in Europe, 2.8 a year for every 1,000 people, according to Eurostat (at top is the Czech Republic). But is Britain about to leap up the chart? It could. Landmark rulings by Britain's House of Lords last week may, some lawyers predict, make England and Wales a divorce magnet, because the rulings have been so generous to financially dependent spouses. In one case, the judges upheld a $9.4 million award to a woman who'd been married to a fund manager worth $60 million. In the second case, the judges lifted...
...blah with each mouthful; an 8:30 hike involving prolonged uphill slogs; at 11:15 more juice and a wheatgrass chaser (imagine a concentrate of freshly cut weeds mixed with nail-polish remover).

The matutinal cycle of torment repeats in the afternoon, and every day, a treadmill of yoga...
...also starting to consolidate. Last month, Pyaterochka agreed to merge with rival Perekriostok to form Russia's biggest food retailer, with almost 900 stores and sales of $2.4 billion. What's happening in Russia is very different from the experience in East European countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic. There, Western retailers rushed in as soon as they were allowed and trampled the local competition. But Western firms have largely been wary of Russia's political and economic instability during the 1990s; their hesitation has allowed a domestic retail industry to grow up. It's not just Moscow...
