...turn back to the hotel before you've even reached the club. But now, something resembling an entertainment zone has emerged, concentrating shopping, dining and drinking choices within walking distance and giving travelers the no-tears nightlife they've been missing. It began with the 2005 opening of the Arcadia bar-and-restaurant complex behind the Plaza Senayan mall. Then, last September, another retail center, Senayan City, opened across the road from the mall. Factor in nearby hotel accommodation-the five-star Mulia Senayan is a short hop by cab on roads with little risk of jams-and party animals...
...Arcadia is the location of Black Cat, a dinner jazz club, and vodka bar Red Square. From there, revelers stagger to X2, a mammoth new club in Plaza Senayan. Senayan City has Premiere, a live-music bar attached to the Senayan Studio XXI cinema. Next-day hangover cures can be easily found.

Touched by an Angel was only vaguely spiritual. The God who spoke to Joan of Arcadia was carefully nondenominational. The WB's genial 7th Heaven, about a minister and his family, has been the network's highest-rated show for most of its 10-season run but has never got the hype of edgier shows like Everwood. Asks creator Brenda Hampton: "How do you promote, 'This week, Ruthie...
...breaking the criminal code and other statutes. Charges are expected to be officially detailed in August, in the culmination of a three-year investigation. Baugur officials say part of the case focuses on stock transactions during one of the firm's attempted acquisitions - the 2002 bid for British retailer Arcadia. Johannesson and his lawyers are blasting the charges as politically motivated, and denying any wrongdoing. But the Icelander's partners on the Somerfield bid - they include private equity firm Apax, Barclays Capital and Iranian realtor Robert Tchenguiz - may be getting cold feet.
