...Beijing and Taipei, in London and Las Vegas. Last Christmas, veteran mesmerizer Leslie Cheung gave a sold-out concert at Caesars Palace, where tickets went for $80 and $238. The same night, half a mile down the Strip, Jackie Chan--yes, he's also a singer--led an all-star music revue that packed the 17,000-seat Garden at the MGM Grand at a top price...
...muggy in the Bronx, and the mood on the street was desultory, depressed. Hours earlier, Dominican officials had declared local hero Danny Almonte to be 14 years old, and in a few more hours, Little League officials would declare that, therefore, all games played by Danny's Rolando Paulino All-Star team--known as the Baby Bombers after their Big League neighbors at Yankee Stadium--were forfeit.

Nakamura's beats are wonderfully atmospheric and danceable; Del Tha Funky Homosapien's playful rhymes are the perfect foil to Albarn's ennui-filled vocals, and Weymouth's giant bass whomps away throughout...
Another great place for people-watching: Camden Yards, the greatest ballpark on earth. I go on a night when the O’s are playing the Anaheim Angels. Cal Ripken has recently been named All-Star MVP, and when he comes up to bat, we all fall silent, like it’s an audience with the Pope...
