...little after 5:00 am in my home in Hong Kong when Jerzy Dudek, the Polish goalkeeper of Liverpool FC, saved a penalty from Andriy Shevchenko, a Ukrainian playing for AC Milan. The save ended the most exciting sporting event you will ever see, secured for Liverpool the European soccer championship for the first time for 21 years, and allowed me to breathe. Within seconds, my wife had called from London, and the emails started to flood in - the first from TIME's Baghdad bureau, others from Sydney, London, Washington, New York. In my fumbled excitement, I misdialed my brother...
...machine for the brand. We do not expect that this will be a huge moneymaking venture. It's more an image thing. The main objective--and we hope eventually to have hotels in five to seven markets--is to develop something unique. Our first hotel in Milan, which opened last year, is in the center of the city, but it's adjacent to the botanical garden. So when you are at Bulgari in Milan, you're right in the middle of the city, but you feel like you're in a country house. It's very contemporary in design...

I want people to say about Bulgari that here is a company in Italy that has beautiful jewelry, watches, eyeglasses and perfumes, and by the way, they have a very nice hotel in Milan.

Most of the masses of pilgrims are going home too, boarding trains and buses: south to the Calabrian countryside, north to Milan, farther north and east to Krakow and Wadowice, Poland where Karol Jozef Wojtyla was born nearly 85 years ago. The Eternal City, of course, carries on. But these next two or three days-before the speculation over succession begins to multiply-the forever take-it-as-it-comes Romans...
...cardinals that they're looking to see if an Italian consensus candidate exists. If one does not emerge in the early ballots, they'll begin to look elsewhere. On the basis of my conversations, I'd say the top three contenders remain Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the Arcbishop of Milan; Cardinal Claudio Hummes, the Archbishop of Sao Paulo in Brazil; and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the head of the Vatican's Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, who has been John Paul II's chief theological enforcer. Tettamanzi would probably be the leading Italian contender; Hummes would represent a turn...
