...Madrid." He predicts Xanadú will create more than 4,000 new jobs and attract more than 25 million visitors a year. This is Mills Corp.'s first venture in Europe, but Siegel says the company is close to breaking ground on other supermalls near Barcelona, Rome and Milan. Siegel attributes the smooth opening of Xanadú to the political connections of his partner in Spain, Jaafar Jalabi, the nephew of Ahmed Chalabi, the wealthy Iraqi exile leader who is close to the Bush Administration.

Football fans may remember the name Luther Blissett. He was the high-scoring striker for England's Watford who was traded to AC Milan for $1 million in 1983.

Talkative Manesquier puts up silent Milan (the local hotel is closed) and quickly senses he's up to no good. That's all right with him. He could use a little vicarious excitement in his life. He talks Milan into giving him shooting lessons. The hard case, tired, increasingly at odds with his none-too-bright fellow criminals, begins to like rambling around the teacher's big old house in carpet slippers. Dullness, predictability, a spot of poetry now and then--how bad could that...
