...British fashion photographer Simon Atlee, 33, who was on vacation in Phuket with his girlfriend, Czech model Petra Nemcova, 25. Nemcova suffered a broken pelvis, but survived by clinging to a palm tree and floating in the water amid bodies and debris for eight hours. Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl watched the tsunami from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Thalpe, Sri Lanka. "I recalled images from the war, which I experienced as a boy," Kohl wrote in the tabloid Bild. "It appeared as if after a heavy bombing raid." Amid so much death and heartbreak, there...
...COUNT, which remind one of the king of cheap chic, Target. Then again it could be the 10-ft.-wide aisles and end-cap displays with towering boxes of bulk sodas, detergent and paper towels that look straight out of Costco, or the smarter, casual clothes that smack of Kohl's. Sure, this Sears store still has its standard array of Kenmore appliances, Craftsman power tools and DieHard batteries, but there's also a wine section and an eye-care shop.

Apparently it's working. According to Neiman Marcus president and CEO Karen Katz...
...unfortunate knack for miscommunication - even when he was right, as he arguably was when he called the euro-zone deficit limits "stupid." Perhaps his bigger problem was faltering support for the E.U. in the capitals of Europe. "It was a lot easier being Commission President when you had Mitterrand, Kohl and Andreotti pushing the Union from the capitals," sighs a top Prodi confidante. Delors disagrees; after all, he had to contend with the doyenne of Euro-skeptics, Margaret Thatcher. He thinks his achievements had more to do with his approach than with the historical context.
