...here, has to stand on its own within the uncompromising walls of this exhibition hall." That's a demanding standard, since the gallery, Mies van der Rohe's glass pavilion, is a monument to Western Modernism, standing guard across from Potsdamer Platz. At the time of its construction, it stood near the Wall. Another irony is that both März and Blume worked as curators in the National Gallery in East Germany. For März, 64, who sports shoulder-length gray hair and a walrus mustache, the exhibit attempts to distinguish art that stands the test of time...
...lack of preparation for the peace. "He is tired of the weed whacking and the process stories," a senior official said of the President. But Bush's problem is bigger than weed whacking. In the latest TIME/CNN poll, Bush's job-approval rating has dropped to 55%, where it stood before 9/11--just barely above his low of 53% in January during the anguished national debate about whether to go to war in the first place. Bush's advisers knew all along that his postwar poll numbers could not hold, but as it has happened, the effect has been to force...
...larger-than-life boss. Citi stock fell 5% on the succession news, and even a brief dip is no small matter at a company with an intense culture of ownership.

Annette Fogle is too smart to tell her man what to do more than once. Less than a week after he was hoisted out of the ground, Randy stood in their kitchen and said, "I think I could go back." At the time, she would have none of it. "I said, 'We're not going to go there. We're not going to have this discussion.'" The subject went dormant for the next few months, as Randy felt his way through the novel labyrinths of movie offers and government inquiries. Annette enjoyed his unprecedented presence, enjoyed not having to worry...
...minister and a renowned scientist and publisher. After visiting Germany, he became interested in nudism and wanted to popularize the movement in the U.S. I spent many summers at Sunshine Park, a well-known nudist camp that he had established in Mays Landing, N.J. One September I stood in front of my school class and said I had spent my summer at a nudist camp, where I swam and played volleyball with no clothes on. My teacher was upset, my parents were called in and I was told never again to talk about nudism in public. Uncle Danny had eight...
