...Europe which have mischievous effects in diminishing national felicity; the one, that useful labour is dishonourable; the other that families may be perpetuated with estates. In America we have neither of these prejudices, which is a great advantage to us"--but he did so in a letter to a Spaniard. The reports that Washington and his officers were forming a hereditary honorary society made him livid. He raged that his countrymen had been seduced by the ribbons and crosses of the Old World; he did not believe honors either could or should be inherited. Were the project to survive...
...years ago, in the wake of the 1999 Erika oil spill off northwestern France, single-hulled vessels are to be phased out by 2015. But oil companies and shippers still use the old vessels because they are cheaper to lease. Last week, E.U. transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio - a Spaniard - called on member states to quickly enact individual bans on single-hulled tankers in European waters.

Two rookies who may make an early impact are Ireland's Paul McGinley and Phillip Price of Wales. The stocky, steady McGinley will likely partner with Harrington, his affable, slow-playing countryman. The two won the 1997 World...
...BEST SAVE Showing why he's rated as the world's best shot-stopper, German Oliver Kahn flung himself to the right to palm away an attempt by Korea's Lee Chun Soo in their tense semifinal match. Honorable Mention: Spaniard Iker Casillas's intercepts of the efforts by Ireland's David Connolly and Kevin Kilbane in the penalty shoot...
...Lily (whom he married in 1906) and his son Felix was utterly blameless; no mistresses, outbursts of jealousy, undisclosed boyfriends or bankruptcies lurked under the rug. His one self-indulgence was cooking. He always bore a social grudge against Picasso, having refused to let him in when, like any Spaniard, Picasso arrived two hours late for their one and only appointment. (What they would have said to each other is conjectural. Klee spoke little French and no Spanish, Picasso no German...
