...forgive Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's many--how shall we put this?--lapses in judgment because they think, He's one of us. Berlusconi, Severgnini wrote this year, is "not only Italy's head of government, but the nation's autobiography." By contrast, when a leader gets out of sync with her followers, all the brilliance in the world doesn't amount to much. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher found that out in 1990, when her colleagues in the British government and Conservative Party simply got tired of the endless drama over Thatcher's European policy and dumped...

Synching - from Day One, Palm has been about synching." But these days, people...
...ancient Arab port of Jaffa, with a few Jewish settlements trying to take root in the nearby swamps and sand dunes. Most of the arriving immigrants were young, poor but fairly well educated and idealistic, and Tel Aviv's city planners sought an egalitarian architectural style in sync with the socialistic winds sweeping through Europe. They turned to Bauhaus. Founded in Weimar in 1919, the International or Bauhaus style rejected the monumental wedding cakes, dripping with decoration, that prevailed in late 19th century architecture. The movement's leaders - Walter Gropius followed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - sought...
