...Reds. The team brought in a world-best $289 million last season, according to Deloitte & Touche, topping the New York Yankees' $280 million in revenues. The notably unglib Glazer won't tip his next play, but he's up against a pair of other big Man U shareholders, Irish tycoons John Magnier and J.P. McManus. The two have recently increased their combined stake to about 29%. "It's extremely unlikely someone would buy the team," says Andrew Lee, an equity analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in London, pointing to the stock's rich price, recently £2.67, which makes...
...aren't the subjects of fairy tales, but that's what this is now: a male fairy tale, deep into Act III. Howard has stepped from a black-and-white life with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars of Major League Soccer to the Ozlike technicolor of the Premiership. Man U may have been in an unthinkable third place behind Arsenal and Chelsea at the end of the week, but Howard has been the steadiest hand in an uneven Red Devils' defense.

And most European leaders believe the al-Qaeda phenomenon will not be defeated until the anti-U.S. grievances in the Arab world on which it feeds have been addressed...
...show covers two centuries of this circus lineup, as envisioned by 83 artists including Goya, Ensor, Klee, Beckmann, Dix, Picasso, Bonnard, Hopper, Freud, Robert Capa and Diane Arbus. It's a perilous leap from Chardin's delightful The Monkey Painter and Toulouse-Lautrec's bitter yellow La Clownesse Cha-U-Kao to video artist Pierrick Sorin's ad nauseam Pie Fight, but like Paris itself, there is something for just about everyone in this three-ring show. There are few real self-portraits in "The Grand Parade," but the lack should be filled by Moi! Self-Portraits in the 20th...
