...partly by freed American slaves in the early 19th century, Liberia has long looked upon the U.S. as a kind of godfather. Its flag is a single-starred version of the Stars and Stripes, its capital is named after James Monroe, and many residents speak English, often with a trace of a Southern twang. Mamadou Bah, 53, whose sister-in-law, nephew and two brothers were killed by a mortar attack on the makeshift refugee camp outside the U.S. embassy, is angry that the Americans have not yet come to help. But if they do, he says, "everybody will...
...reach into his personal computer. Sure, the bus operator from Fresno, Calif., had used Napster to grab music files off the Internet. And when that file-swapping service was put out of business, he switched to its most popular successor, Kazaa. But he was careful not to leave a trace, transferring all his downloaded songs to separate discs. A visiting teenage grandson wasn't so careful, however, and last week Barnes, 50, was slapped with a subpoena from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It alleged that he had posted online--for the world to steal--digital copies...
...Serafini and a Sandro Chia mosaic. Achille Bonito Oliva, the project's curator, calls it the world's first "obligatory museum" - if you ride the No. 1 line, you can't miss it. Still, city officials are perhaps proudest of the brushstrokes that have not shown up. Barely a trace of graffiti or vandalism has been registered since the scheme began.

"If we educate people about beauty, they want to keep things beautiful...
Smart shops trace their origins to Amsterdam, where in the early 1990s people began using such substances as ginkgo, a plant extract, to improve cognitive functions and help stay alert for work and study. Those pills merged with "eco-drugs" into the broader category of smart drugs that are making their way into markets across Europe. Dutch wholesaler Ananda Schouten says France has the most restrictive laws, but looser rules in Germany and Britain have spawned dozens of full-fledged smart shops in those countries. Schouten claims to take a missionary view of his business. "I think what...
...geometry, applying a ruler to nature, and seeking out the regularity of fences, planks, horizons. The Shore (1923) shows the seawall at Dymchurch, which holds the water - in his imagination "cold and cruel" - back from the marsh. A stark composition of gray, blue, gold and terracotta, it shows no trace of life - human, animal or vegetable. Nash flirted with abstraction and Surrealism, asking in 1932 "whether it is possible to 'go modern' and still 'be British.'" In 1933 he helped found Unit One, a movement that aimed to revitalize British art by embracing Continental modernism. One of his most successful...
