Clooney, not a man of inaction, especially in a moment of crisis like this, stands on my dining-room table, unscrews a panel in the ceiling and, finding nothing, makes me go outside and carry a huge ladder with him up two flights to my garage upstairs-where he climbs into an area I've never dared go, crawling along the beams with a screwdriver between his teeth.

Traveling and research fellowships abound, but they receive far fewer applications than Morgan Stanley, in part because no one knows about them, but also because they can’t compare to a coveted step up the corporate ladder.

According to police, the 70-year-old climbed over a wall and used a ladder to enter the pavilion Sunday night, and set the blaze using three bottles of paint thinner just before 9 pm. Like many of Korea's historical buildings, the ancient gate was guarded only until the early evening. At night, a security camera was in place to keep out intruders, although homeless people have often huddled in around the structure. But the gate didn't have smoke detectors, or a sprinkler system...
