...Hike Destinations to restore your sense of wonder Fashionistas are still gushing and cooing over Chanel Ginza - the French fashion house's brand-new showcase in the heart of Tokyo's ritziest shopping district. But what truly sets this building apart, besides the bold, Peter Marino design, is its 10th-story penthouse, the newest home of restaurateur Alain Ducasse, pictured above with his team of chefs. The youngest person ever to be awarded three Michelin stars - and the only one of his generation to receive the same accolade for two restaurants at the same time - Ducasse was handpicked by Chanel...
...skyscraper was born in the U.S., and for most of the 20th century, it flourished here. Fifteen years ago, nine of the world's 10 tallest buildings were in the U.S. (The 10th was in Toronto.)

(This year being the 10th anniversary of the massacre, there are already several documentaries on the subject on the festival circuit.) The genial hotel manager of the past is no more. Now owner of a trucking concern and living in Belgium, Rusesabagina says the horrors he witnessed in Rwanda "made me a different...
...knows if that large mission can be accomplished? Hotel Rwanda is, finally, only a movie. That said, however, it is a powerful portrait of a slightly befuddled man who, when inhuman demands were placed on him, found within himself an unexpected response. In ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the events, Rwandan President Paul Kagame offered to come to the aid of any country in which genocide was taking place. He has sent a small contingent to Darfur to help restore stability after clashes between the government and rebel forces. Courage, Winston Churchill once said, is the virtue that makes...
