...than a sense of right and wrong; it also demands a special kind of diplomatic telemetry. It requires faith. You are sitting across from Milosevic. He is prattling on in his wonderful English and recalling his days as a banker in New York, asking whether certain restaurants are still open. He has just finished meeting with his generals. Surely they have discussed the killing that is under way. What should you do now? Suddenly the moral instinct alone does not answer. You are on your own, trying to find a direction in a world in which there are no marked...

Last week Bezos got into the automobile business through a joint venture with Greenlight.com Customers can now order an Audi or a Chevy alongside electric drills and Oprah books. And it doesn't stop there. This week Amazon is set to open its Paris-based online store, Amazon.fr, a brave bid to raise international sales despite the fact that less than 1% of book sales in France are done online--and not for want of dotcoms...

Our series of weekend-vacation workshops not only touches on the Big Five--money, sex, children, time and in-laws--but, more important, teaches couples to unearth the antagonistic possibilities buried within their most banal interactions. ammo's workshops are limited to an enrollment of eight...
...arrives like Mark Antony delivering Caesar's funeral oration: it comes not to praise rock but to bury it. The songs defy convention and categorization: one track, The National Anthem, begins like a full-on rock number, with a throbbing bass guitar and aggressive percussion, before the tune bursts open and jazzy horns tumble out. This is an album about atmosphere and mood, not easy hooks and catchy choruses. Listening to Kid A is like hearing one's own heart--you feel every beat intimately. And you never want it to stop...
