...raucous singalong on Aha's Take on Me, our exhilarated group decided to extend the planned two-hour session to three. As Fox, an admitted "terrible singer," says: "It's about the natural high you get from singing." So book way in advance, as 250 divas-by-night regularly swell the joint to capacity. If they don't have your tune, make sure to ask for the next visit: Lucky has had to bolster its five-song Neil Diamond stock to 15 since opening. And, yes, you should definitely count on a next time. tel: (44-20) 7439 3660; luckyvoice.co.uk
Although their contrasts are stark, the pair shares more than the spotlight and a sponsor (Nike). Neither has let success swell his head or his entourage. In 2003 Federer, who grew up in the northern Swiss city of Basel, broke free from sports agency IMG and dumped his coach. He started winning every tournament in sight. His girlfriend, former women's pro Mirka Vavrinec, managed most of Federer's affairs. "We had a great time just going it alone," says Federer. "I learned a lot about myself and my team because I only had people working with me whom...
...There's never a dull moment,'' says Burke Shire Mayor Annie Clarke, whose tiny council oversees the 225-km stretch from Burketown to the border. Floods create much of the drama: monsoonal rains and cyclones regularly swell Gulf Country rivers and send stormy seas surging across the low coastline.

At Floraville station, 73 km south of the town-and 80 km inland-the homestead was an island for two weeks...
...course, the prize is not yet Elkann's. Although his decision-making role and public presence have recently begun to swell, Fiat chairman Luca di Montezemolo and CEO Sergio Marchionne are still largely in charge. The Fiat Group, which counts CNH tractors and Iveco trucks among its holdings, has been buoyed recently by strong numbers from its once suffering automobile division. Under the turnaround leadership of Marchionne, European sales of the auto group (which includes the Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands) jumped 23.2% in the first five months of this year, representing nearly half of the overall company...
...endless (at two and a half hours) as the Peter Jackson King Kong, and like that misbegotten film it is intended for the last mass audience left to the movies - adolescent males geekily parsing the effectiveness of its special effects. They will doubtless think they?re swell. The director, Gore Verbinski, has spared no expense in realizing them, and there's no doubt in my mind that as a commercial proposition the film will be a winner. In every other way - as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully...
