...their game. 20% is struggling a wee bit." On paper, that wee bit of trouble seems to be a big problem. The U.S. has World No. 1 Tiger Woods, No. 2 Phil Mickelson and three other players in the Top 10. Europe has just two, Harrington and Spain's Sergio Garc?a. The rankings suggest the Americans should just leave the 48-cm gold trophy at U.S. tour headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where it has been since they staged history's biggest final-day rally to win in 1999. London bookmakers have...
...compulsive. I'm precise," says Martha Klein (Martina Gedeck), chef of a ritzy Hamburg restaurant. Precise, sure, but her loveless life still needs a bit of leavening. That comes in two packages: her balky 8-year-old niece (Maxime Foerste) and a lavishly charming Italian sous-chef (Sergio Castellitto).

...extending his government consulting contract. Through a mixture of shrugs and subterfuge, the Berlusconi government usually manages to skate past these lapses in taste. But with Scajola's offensive comments, its luck ran out. "The government, as insurance companies would say, has a natural predisposition for accidents," wrote Sergio Romano, a conservative columnist for the daily Corriere della Sera. The Scajola mishap has given Berlusconi his shakiest week in office yet. And after a strong showing by the center-left in recent local elections, the poll-happy Prime Minister has suddenly got shy about releasing his own popularity numbers. Berlusconi...
Just three miles south is another fine resort, Villa La Selva, situated on land held until the 15th century by the famed Medici family. Owner Sergio Carpini, 71, spends every spare moment hunting for antique furniture and fine Italian marble and textiles with which to furnish his guest rooms. Carpini is putting the final touches on a hilltop villa that sleeps 20. Initial restorations uncovered a Madonna and the wooden bearings of a house from the early 16th century. "Like the masterpieces in the museums," says Carpini, "this is our patrimony that must be preserved." Here too are some...
