...Olympics, and the shipping company P&O, which once held the Empire together, has been sold to an Arab sheikdom, but the British still lead the world in heists. Since the Great Train Robbery in 1963, a succession of raids--each seemingly larger than the last--has provided a stream of ripping yarns for crime writers. Last week's entry into the genre, which may have netted 40 million ($70 million in U.S. currency) or even more--the precise figure has not been revealed--will doubtless spawn its own literary offspring. It has certainly got the goods: a daring...
...captivated with it. I was intrigued by improvisation, yet nothing in my classical training had given me any idea whether I could do that.” Monson pursued jazz trumpet at the New England Conservatory of Music, where she studied in a unique program, Third Stream, which emphasized learning music by ear. Two particular courses influenced her deeply: one on North Indian classical music with sitarist Peter Row, and another on African music and ethnomusicology. Outside the classroom, Monson was introduced to other genres of music, and played everything from Klezmer to salsa. After a few years, Monson returned...
...software world, Murray, 42, is something of a turnaround king. After all, he primed three of the ailing companies he once headed--the Learning Company, Stream International and Modus Media--for lucrative buyouts.

Says a noncommittal Murray: "It's always about driving up value for shareholders. I've had a successful track record...
...just from Greenland but also from melting icebergs and increasing mainland runoff. The resulting drop in salinity could change the density of surface water enough to prevent it from sinking as it cools and returning south to the tropics where it can replenish ocean currents like the Gulf Stream. And because the Gulf Stream is the only reason much of Western Europe has so mild and temperate a climate, such a shutdown of that conveyor belt of heat could be nothing short of catastrophic. Oceanographers reported late last year the ominous news that one element of that family of currents...
...music. Then, a practically movie-perfect nightclub scene: circular projection screens lit up with green and blue as fog and pulsing lights played through the room. And yet, the gender ratio leaned hard towards sausage. See that girl over there—the one hypnotically twirling glowsticks as tassels stream from the pockets on her cargo pants? She doesn’t want to dance with you. Neither does the one writhing in corset and leather pants. But whatever your gender, there are plenty of bare-chested guys who do. Also, if you’re not naturally high...
