When you've seen all there is to see around Chittagong, hop on a bus south to Cox's Bazar. Five hours later, the scent of salt water lets you know you've arrived at the longest beach in the world, a jungle-lined stretch of white sand that runs unbroken for 120 km. Women can forget about soaking up the rays in skimpy swimsuits unless they want to attract a whirling crowd of oglers. In Bangladesh, ladies take the surf in full sari. Muslim beach etiquette aside, Cox's Bazar has all the potential of a serene seaside getaway...
...known as a tough boss; if he indulges the Gallianos on the creative side, he is whipping the production side, taking advantage of all the available back-room synergies in manufacturing and distribution.

The homes, if not completely washed away, were whittled to bamboo skeletons. A four-hour boat ride from Cox's Bazar, the nearest mainland city, Ujantia has received only a pittance of relief supplies. Food is in such meager quantities that the village can scarcely find the strength to begin to build again...
...small, stooped, gnomelike figure working in his bare feet was French Artist Jean Dubuffet, 71. He was putting the last touches on his Coucou Bazar, an art-dance event using his own brightly colored cutouts, which will be presented along with his retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum. "I'm satisfied. Who else at my age can say he is satisfied?" Dubuffet chirruped. Moreover, he likes Manhattan, especially Wall Street, where one of his sculptures has been installed. Said he, relaxed as could be: "It is the solar plexus of the world. It is the heart where the blood comes...
