...Cubist café that first opened in 1912 and closed 12 years later. Grand Café Orient is the joint effort of Czech restaurateur and art collector Rudolf Brinek and the National Gallery in Prague.

Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe and Leonard Nimoy join a mock march in PROpeace's public-service TV advertisement. About $20 million should cover costs, says Mixner, and so far about $2 million has been raised. Though 11,000 prospective marchers have received applications, some may find the path...
