...last half of the 20th century, Villa Gregoriana became a neglected jungle of brambles, brushwood, ivy and weeds, obscuring the views and grottoes and covering the limestone walls' natural whorled designs. After fai's restoration, all is as it was back in the 19th century, and birdsong and the rush of water on the rocks fill the atmosphere. Architect Gae Aulenti's visitors' center offers audio guides, and next summer guests will be able to take illuminated evening walks. The restoration, which includes the replanting of tree and shrub species from Rivarola's original garden, will continue for at least...
Neil Labute is trying to explain what he enjoys about being a playwright. Over a milky tea in a French café in south London, he talks about the thrill of tinkering with ever-evolving scripts, the comfort he gets from working with actors he respects, and the rush of hearing a laugh, or a gasp, from an audience lost in the drama he's created. In short, he says, "I'm a people person." Then he laughs. Because he knows how absurd it is for him, the bad boy of American theater, to speak in sunny, New Age banalities...
...Exchange opened its new market for growing businesses, the Irish Enterprise Exchange. Even Deutsche Börse has reportedly eyed a copycat exchange. What's the rush?

Washington Governor Christine Gregoire last week signed a bill allotting $350 million from the state's tobacco-suit settlement to life-science research, which could include stem-cell work. But lawmakers who defeated a bill to protect stem-cell research have promised a fight over how the money is spent when it starts to flow in 2008. New Jersey is mulling a plan to devote $380 million to a research facility...
News travels fast on the London Underground during the morning rush hour. On a typical day, only commuters taking to the capital's subway trains before 9 a.m. can get hold of a copy of Metro, the free daily newspaper piled high in racks near the station entrance. Metro is a popular title, and copies are snapped up quickly. So getting a newspaper after 9 a.m. usually means paying for it - which a declining number of Britons seem prepared to do. Scanning his Metro while awaiting a train to work, Jonathan Cole, a 26-year-old stockbroker, sniffs at actually...
