...homes in the warm south. But even when the sun isn't shining, Europeans seem to be throwing themselves into fun and festivity with unprecedented zeal. Each weekend, central London is one great bacchanal. Cities that for reasons of politics or religion were once gloomily repressive--Madrid, say, or Dublin--now rock to the small hours. In Prague the foreign visitors who get talked about are not the earnest young Americans who flocked there in the early 1990s, but British partygoers who have flown in for the cheap beer and pretty girls. The place that British historian Mark Mazower once...

Veronica Guerin - the second film about the iconic journalist - follows her as she digs for the source of the city's drug supply. Hardheaded and hungry for a story, Guerin is threatened, shot at and severely beaten before...
...late 2001, TIME Global Business reported on the success of Dublin-based RyanAir, the upstart airline whose profits had soared 39% in six months, and its jeans-wearing CEO, Michael O'Leary, above. Today it's clear that this budget carrier is no fluke. With high productivity from its workers and high enthusiasm from flyers (willing to bear the inconvenience of second-tier airports in exchange for low fares), RyanAir saw its profits rise 66% in 2002.
