Welcome aboard the Amsterdam beer bike. In recent years, the pedal-powered bar on wheels has become a popular draw for tourists who want to combine city-cruising with daytime boozing. "Riding a bike while having a beer is simply amazing," says Ard Karsten, the Dutch founder of the company Beerbike.co.uk, one of three outfitters in the city. Not only that, he adds, but it is an environmentally friendly alternative to gas-guzzling bus and boat tours. "It's a new and unique way to see Amsterdam," he says.

As Skeeter wanly improvs, the kids add impish twists of their own: that the sky will rain gumballs, a dwarf will ruin...

Which is not to say the two don't stay in touch when they're far away. "We call or email a lot to share what we have been doing - maybe to the annoyance of the other people we are traveling with," Rogoff Moraga says...
...conservative commentary has offended Mexicans, Jews and Muslims, which is why his New York Times best seller extolling the virtues of forgiveness and the Christmas spirit might surprise some. The Christmas Sweater is a short novel about a young boy who gets a sweater for Christmas instead of a bike, resents his mother for the gift and then plunges into darkness when she dies soon afterward. The book is semiautobiographical - Beck's mother committed suicide when he was a teenager, and he was a longtime alcoholic. TIME spoke to Beck about his past addictions, why he despises politicians...
