Standing in the serene, sunlit galleries of Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the average art lover would never suspect that behind the sublime beauty of, say, Fra Angelico's Annunciation or Francisco Goya's Women with Two Children, roils a family dispute of such sordidness that it would make Jon and Kate look like the Waltons. But when Borja Thyssen, son of deceased multimillionaire Heinrich Thyssen and his fifth wife, Carmen (Tita) Cervera, decided to lay claim to his inheritance, he unleashed a tide of criminal accusations and ugly recriminations that has kept the editors and producers of Spain...
Clearly one of the professor’s favorite spaces, his excitement seems to grow once stepping into the sunlit library lined with walls and wall of books. Mankiw goes over to one shelf in particular. “Over here are all my textbooks in all different languages. This one is Polish. This one here is in Georgian. A bunch of crazy languages,” says Mankiw...

But if you came to his fiction expecting sunlit scenes of American life, you were mistaken. Though his work was shot through with the beauty and abundance of the world, of suburban "nights where kings in golden suits ride elephants over the mountains," there was also failure and weakness at every turn. The men were poorly equipped for life...
