...tennis courts and a golf course, and refashioning an old granary to house the Trattoria. Now bulldozers are flattening a patch of ground for a helipad. The vineyards will produce homegrown white wines this month, and the first reds will be ready to drink by Christmas. Wine on tap could prove useful if any of L'Andana's future guests share our deep and gorgeous thirst. The sommelier, Yuka Maekawa, concealed any surprise at our rate of consumption but packed a few surprises of her own. Female Japanese sommeliers aren't thick on the ground in Italy; yet the biggest...
...arts colleges that exalt the undergraduate experience in a way that the big schools can't rival. And if they hope to go on to grad school? Getting good grades at a small school looks better than floundering at a famous one. Think they need to be able to tap into the old-boy network to get a job? Chances are, the kid is going to be doing a job that doesn't even exist now, so connections won't do much good. The rules have changed. The world has changed.

...well, soup to nuts. But they've remained fully rooted in the analog world. Enter Crowley's server-based company. It transforms video-game machines to offer 30 different games instead of one, and gives jukeboxes the capacity to deliver 2.2 million songs.

That's a potentially huge moneymaker: half of all mobiles will have MP3 capacity within two years, and Coke has 2.8 million machines worldwide. They'll also likely sell wi-fi access and tickets - for everything from airline...
...increasingly other factors, like the combination of low wages and high education levels in India and the migration of human talent to Singapore, determine where capital flows. Winter also points out that in markets where corporate structure remains cloudy--China is a prime example--investors can more safely tap some of the excitement by owning multinationals. "You don't have to buy local stocks to do this," he says. A quarter of Procter & Gamble's sales come from emerging markets, for example, and China alone accounts for 14% of revenues at Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto. Buying more-established...
...judge ruled that the surveillance program violates the Constitution's Fourth Amendment because it allows officials to "search" people's phone calls unreasonably and without a warrant. But she didn't say how the searches are unreasonable. If they tap into an old-fashioned call between a couple in Peoria who rightly assume their conversation is private, that's one thing. It's quite another if the couple uses a cordless phone (because they shouldn't expect privacy) or if one person receives the call overseas (because he may not be covered by the Fourth Amendment). And some searches...
