| Another Proof of Totaro's Theorem on $E_8$-Torsors We give a short proof of Totaro's theorem that every$E_8$-torsor over
a field $k$ becomes trivial over a finiteseparable extension of $k$of
degree dividing $d(E_8)=2^63^25$.

| An Explicit Cell Decomposition of the Wonderful Compactification of a Semisimple Algebraic Group We determine an explicit cell decomposition of the wonderful
compactification of a semi\-simple algebraic group. To do this we first
identify the $B\times B$-orbits using the generalized Bruhat
decomposition of a reductive monoid. From there we show how each cell
is made up from $B\times B$-orbits.
