...home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is an eye-catcher that's also suited to its purpose. Architect Frank Gehry crafted the exterior in the warped-metal style he made famous with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry designed the interior to mimic real-world business environments. An oval classroom is reminiscent of a corporate conference room. The classrooms are interspersed among faculty offices and meeting areas so the "bosses" and the "workers" can bump into one another. The school also boasts a high-speed computer network with ports...
...levels were getting too easy. Officials at 100 schools said their students received marks well below those of their overall work. FRANCE Bonnie and Clyde French police arrested a man and a woman alleged to be military leaders of ETA, the Basque separatist group, in a raid that Spain called a blow "against terrorism." Juan Antonio Olarra Guridi, 35, and Ainhoa Múgica Goñi, 32, were seized at a supermarket in the suburbs of Bordeaux after weeks of police surveillance. Spanish Interior Ministry officials said the couple were carrying arms in their car. Múgica...
...always the way? You wait for a major sporting competition to come along, and three show up at the same time. At least they did last week in Spain.

France's film industry, by comparison, produced 204 movies last year (a jump of 20%) and sold 76 million tickets. Though a number of European countries - Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain - actually print more books, publishing in France still enjoys a mystique rivaling that of cinema. Authors like Bernard-Henri Lévy and 2001 Goncourt prizewinner Jean-Christophe Rufin are megacelebrities, and book-themed talk shows are standard TV fare. Notes Pierre Assouline, editor of Lire magazine: "The French have...
...their game. 20% is struggling a wee bit." On paper, that wee bit of trouble seems to be a big problem. The U.S. has World No. 1 Tiger Woods, No. 2 Phil Mickelson and three other players in the Top 10. Europe has just two, Harrington and Spain's Sergio Garc?a. The rankings suggest the Americans should just leave the 48-cm gold trophy at U.S. tour headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where it has been since they staged history's biggest final-day rally to win in 1999. London bookmakers have...
