...sculptured concrete arms that rise beneath the bridge, seemingly seeking emancipation from a bottomless pit, create an arresting image of anguish and desperation - just as Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat intended.

Nirvana in this case is Wat Rong Khun, or White Temple, a spectacular, ornately carved building painted white to symbolize purity.

Standing beneath a cork tree, Piero Sardo, president of the anti-fast food organization Slow Food, reached for yet another slice. "Delicious," he said...
...Blue and Red teams sit along opposite sides of a rectangular adjoining table, with commanders in the middle beneath a large graphic display with power point slides and digital maps showing each scenario. After meeting to devise their plans, Red team members take hostile actions against the Blue team which must then fashion a response. "Our goal is to stress the blue team," says retired Maj. Gen.
