Will and Hand ricochet from country tocountry in picaresque fashion, Senegal to Morocco to Estonia, drinking, bickering, rarely sleeping, thrusting wads of cash at startled strangers, staying just ahead of the boredom and the crying jags that threaten to crest over them like a wave--but just behind the sense of happiness and belonging they're sure awaits them in the next strip bar or hotel lobby. Eggers' strengths as a writer are real: his funny, pitch-perfect dialogue; the way his prose delicately captures the bumblebee blundering of Will's thoughts (he compares the workings of his brain...
...planted for use in a terror attack. The wad of plastic explosives - similar to that carried by alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid - had been wedged beneath an armrest with no detonation device attached.

But the Fortuyn effect has already almost halved the rate of asylum seekers entering the Netherlands from last year's total of nearly 33,000. Since his budget comes from state allocations that can range as high as ?10,000 per student, Roks is already thinking about...
...cost to bring the orchestra to Seville for three weeks, along with Barenboim and 10 music teachers from Berlin and Chicago - he directs Berlin's Deutsche Staatsoper and conducts the Chicago Symphony - comes from the Three Mediterranean Cultures Foundation, a joint project by the regional government of Andaluc?a and Morocco. It has now offered West-Eastern Divan a permanent home in Seville. Barenboim is considering the proposal because the cultures the foundation refers to - Muslim, Jewish and Christian - coexisted in Spain for seven centuries under Moorish rule. After Spain, the East-Western Divan performs in L?beck, Germany this Friday...
