...version of Miami, circa 1986, and it evokes the place and the period with the skill of a Scorsese: it's a steaming Cuban sandwich of sultry Latin sirens, drug deals gone bad and seedy mobsters with big metal briefcases full of small unmarked bills. The city streets are awash with neon in candy pink and pistachio green, and each streetlight is ringed by a delicate nimbus suggesting warm, humid tropical air. The kicker is the painfully authentic all-1980s sound track (which will be released by Sony Music as a seven-CD set). Buy this game, and you will...

And in central Colorado the mountains flanking Interstate 70, particularly at Loveland Pass, are awash in color. --By Lisa McLaughlin
...bikers, skaters and joggers compete with more placid lovers and retirees for room on the new pedestrian thoroughfare. A tree-planting campaign is in full swing along the Han?after three years and 15 million new trees, the city's once crushing expanses of concrete and neon are now awash with the pale green of ginkgoes, chosen in part for their golden autumnal livery...
