...Verdi arias sold 75,000 during Christmas week alone. Yet it is difficult to shake the suspicion that his blindness has, in marketing terms, contributed to his success. Universal predictably denies it, but Bocelli is not taken seriously by the opera world: in a summer production of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier at the Montepulciano Festival in Italy, a comic tenor role was cruelly depicted as blind with a white stick. There were big laughs...
...indication that fish can harbor the bse prion, it is hardly reassuring to know that much of it is artificially farmed and fed with the same meat-based meal that has been outlawed for cows and other livestock. No wonder many Europeans agree with Berlin housewife Hannelore Schröder that they might as well stick with beef. "What else am I to eat?" she asks.

Even without more government aid, Europe's organic farmers are enjoying flush times. "Every time there's another bse scare, our customers increase," says Richard Counsell, an organic farmer in southwest England...

Unlike the earlier Die Brcke movement, the second wave of prewar Expressionism-Marc, Kandinsky and their collaborators-did not paint the social upheavals of their time. Instead, they attempted to transcend social discord by creating images of other, hypothetical worlds. For Kandinsky, this meant a focus on apocalyptic imagery. And for Marc, of course, there was the natural world...
