...architect Arnaud Montigny (who did Colette) to appear loftlike and informal. Everything is organic (apart from the furniture?"I couldn't find anything stylish," he says), ranging from the naturally pigmented paint on the walls to the mineralized water to the terry-cloth robes made from organic cotton. Nevertheless, Jaulin has avoided the Zen music trap, dismissing it as "not very Paris" and opting instead for a mix of rhythm and blues played, sotto voce, over the speakers. "The point of this place is to experience well-being, lightness and joy, and I want the music to reflect that...
...Many competitors sell products that are similar in size to the iPod nano, with features the nano doesn't yet have including video playback, voice recording and an FM tuner.

Birgit Homburger, deputy head of Germany's Free Democratic Party, joins the European chorus that ISAF's mandate "must be extended. We cannot simply stop halfway through." Nevertheless, a recent poll showed that 56% of Germans want to "withdraw as quickly as possible from the country," with 38% disagreeing. The German parliament is due to vote in September. Can the accumulation of worrying signs be reversed? During a visit to Afghanistan in July, Homburger was surprised...
...spot-on impressions of Jodie Foster and Ren?e Zellweger announcing the nominees in Marty's Oscar category (he loses, but makes a soused acceptance speech anyway). Some of the Broadway parodies - a Tommy Tune on stilts, a Godspell-Jesus Christ Superstar sendup - are more familiar, but sharp and funny nevertheless...
