...Making India Work lays out what he hopes will be a blueprint for action: radically downsizing the national bureaucracy; giving substantive powers to elected neighborhood councils; creating a results-based, incentivized school system under the eye of a "standards authority." A self-described policy wonk, Bissell is clearly more interested in the details of governance than in big ideas (the subject of several recent books by Indian CEOs). "Let's go into the trenches," he says, with the air of the classic patrician philanthropist, "and see what needs to be done." (See pictures of India's health care crisis...

...Renoir of this period - three very productive decades before his death in 1919 at the age of 78 - fascinated some of the chief figures of modernism. Picasso was on board; his thick-limbed "neoclassical" women from the 1920s are indebted to Renoir. So was Matisse, who had one eye on Renoir's Orientalist dress-up fantasies like The Concert, with its flattened space and overall patterning, when he produced his odalisques. Given that so much of late Renoir seems saccharine and semicomical to us, is it still possible to see what made it modern to them? (See TIME's photo...

Firmly contoured or flickering, his softly sculpted women are as full-bodied as Doric columns. This was one of the qualities that caught Picasso's eye, especially after his first trip to Italy, in 1917. He would assimilate Renoir alongside his own sources in Iberian sculpture and elsewhere to come up with a frankly more powerful, even haunting, amalgam of the antique and the modern in paintings like Woman in a White Hat.

...discussion is particularly prescient for the mountain crowd. Like golfers and tennis players at the country club, skiers and snowboarders share a home on the slopes but don't always see eye to eye. For years, regal skiers treated upstart snowboarders like pests; thanks to efforts by snowboarding pioneers like White, who has given the sport legitimacy and near mainstream acceptance, now there's at least a grudging respect between the two camps. "I wouldn't say there's a rivalry," says Rick Bower, a half-pipe coach for the U.S. team. He stops to reconsider that statement. "There...
