...just $130 million a year. But no sensible business leader is starry-eyed about sports. A few miles outside Birmingham, at Aston Villa's training ground, new owner Randy Lerner is setting out his vision for the club. From the slightly scruffy facilities to the club's balance sheet, this is no Manchester United or Chelsea. For the $142 million the boss of the NFL's Cleveland Browns' paid for Villa in August, Lerner got last season's 16th-best team in England, complete with tumbling revenue and attendance.

Millions live in fetid, decaying slum metropolises without running water or electricity. Only rudimentary cinderblock and aluminum sheet dwellings protect these impoverished masses from monsoon rainfalls and a sweltering...
...melody is powerful enough to drive the listener through the chore of listening to his dense, though exceptional, lyrics. Gone is the intelli-fun joy of “Me and Mia,” the lead track from 2004’s “Shake the Sheet.” There, within the same up-tempo pop format with which he’s now become with a bit too comfortable, Leo managed to compassionately address the struggles of those with eating disorders while producing a still-engaging sound. Leo’s twee-like melodies now seem...
