...InBev itself was only created in 2004, from the merger of Belgium's Interbrew with Brazil's AmBev. It is headquartered in the Flemish city of Leuven, where the company can trace its brewing roots back to 1366. Though the board includes former Belgian Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene, the firm's power brokers are Brazilian investment bankers who have placed an accounting technique known as zero-based budgeting at the heart of their global strategy.

Kennedy Jr., graffiti pioneer Jean-Michel Basquiat, basketball star Dennis Rodman and steroid-user-turned-whistle-blower Jose Canseco - rate no better than a passing mention.

Aimed at kids between 4 and 12, the club is part of a far-reaching educational scheme devised by marine biologist Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of ocean pioneer Jacques...
Though he fell out of favor with critics--and the public--in the 1960s, French filmmaker Jean Delannoy directed nearly 50 films during his career, including critical successes such as L'Eternel Retour and Dieu a Besoin des Hommes. In 1954 he was famously felled by a scathing review in Cahiers du Cinéma by critic (and later filmmaker) François Truffaut, who accused Delannoy of clinging to an antiquated and pedestrian style. Yet in 1946, before Truffaut's time, Delannoy earned a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his most notable work, La Symphonie Pastoral...
