  1. 'American Idol': Hot nights in Georgia

    American Idolkicked off its 11th season Wednesday in Southern style. And the year's first audition show, shot in Savannah, Ga., had enough characters to populate a Tennessee Williams play. There was Amy Brumfield, a 24-year-old from Gatlinburg, Tenn., who lives in a tent. Gabi Carrubba, a 16-year-old tap-dancing champion. NBA dancer Brittany Kerr. Eric Nowak from Buffalo, N.Y., convinced that Steven Tyler is her future ex-husband. Shaun Kraisman, who's convinced he's Ryan Seacrest -- and a good enough mimic to convince just about everybody else. (Fine, let Ryan go to the Today show.) And there's diminutive 17-year-old David Leathers Jr., better known to his friends as Mr. Steal Your Girl, who actually competed in a singing contest with Scotty McCreery two years ago. David hinted that he beat Scotty that night, but I'm not sure I believe him, good as his Michael Jackson-like versions of Remember the Rain and Never Can Say Goodbye were. Who will people still be talking about once the Hollywood rounds hit? Maybe Shannon Magrane, the 15-year-old daughter of former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Joe Magrane. Maybe Schyler and Colton Dixon, who returned from last season -- though the judges had to drag 19-year-old Colton, who barely missed out on the semifinals last season, back into the mix against his will. But they'll definitely remember Phillip Phillips, a Georgia boy, named after his daddy, who has a country-fried accent and sings Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson like you wouldn't believe. All in all, 42 contestants from Savannah got golden tickets. And the ones we saw showed a lot of promise.

  11. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship. The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.

  12. Romantic getaways

    <strong>Berlin:</strong> Put Berlin next to Paris and you have both sides of the coin: romance, which occasionally appeals, and eros, which never fails. &quot;Berlin is sexy," said the German capital's openly gay Mayor Klaus Wowereit, and it's been that way since the iniquitous Weimar Republic of Marlene Dietrich and cabaret, when only <em>verboten</em> was a naughty word. Recent influxes of German hipsters and clued-in foreigners are (as the song says) "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" with Berlin's outr&eacute; art scene, drinking in all-night bars where mind-numbing absinthe is the poison of choice, and dressing in provocative Weimar styles for Boh&egrave;me Sauvage, an on-going series of nightclub parties with dancing to hot jazz, backroom poker and floor shows featuring scantily clad performers of undetermined sex.
