Libeskind's design, along with most of the designs submitted for the competition--buildings that swoop and stride--tell you again what Frank Gehry first made plain with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. In architecture, the old world is dead. And with the exception of Gehry, there's no more powerful emblem of that change than Libeskind, 57, who was thrust into fame three years ago with his first building. In the late 1980s, when he won a competition to design the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Libeskind's name was known only to people who followed architectural theory. Though...

Designers and CEOs know, and care, about Majed al-Sabah because largely through his flashy exoticism and smarts--and, perhaps, wallet--he has become one of the most prominent retailers in fashion...

...misgiving that stretches from immediate doubts to long-term philosophical differences--from disagreement over the purpose of inspections and the threshold of war to worries that the U.S. doesn't really care if it has allies. Of course, Bush can count on loyal friends like the leaders of Spain, Italy, Poland and Britain to stand by his side, despite the disapproval of their citizens. And some of the vocal opponents, like France and Russia, have lucrative commercial or financial ties with Iraq that they fear a U.S.-led war might sunder...
Neighbors were jolted from their beds before dawn last Friday when Spanish police burst into flats in an apartment block in the small country town of Banyoles, north of Girona. Simultaneous raids were taking place in a dozen other apartments across northeastern Spain. By the end of the day, investigators held 16 suspects - 14 believed to be Algerian and two believed to be Moroccan - of the 20 originally detained. They discovered large quantities of bomb-making material, manuals on chemical warfare, and equipment to manufacture false credit cards and identity documents, as well as a cache of timers, fuses...
