...Although modest in size, Knai Bang Chatt provides all the activities of a much larger resort. Among these are excursions to islands lying close off shore, boat trips with local fishermen or tours of nearby Bokor National Park. Yoga classes, meditation sessions and Khmer massage are available. There's also an expansive sea-facing infinity pool. The French cuisine (with a Khmer touch) uses fresh local seafood and produce and is superb. Menus are drawn up in consultation with guests, and meals are served on terraces or in the open-air dining pavilion. The communal areas at Knai Bang Chatt...

...booming export trade. And you hear it in Chiang Saen, a town on the Mekong River in northern Thailand, where locals used to subsist on whatever they could make from farming and smuggling--until Chinese engineers began blasting the rapids and reefs on the upper Mekong so that large boats could take Chinese-manufactured goods to markets in Southeast Asia.

...Pentagon's four-stars who serve as overseas combatant commanders are as much diplomats as warriors, and Fallon has proven to be a particularly deft one. After a Navy submarine struck the Japanese fishing boat Ehime Maru in 2001, killing nine aboard the vessel, Bush dispatched the admiral to Tokyo to deliver the U.S. apology to the government and an angry Japanese public. As Vice Chief of Naval Operations in 2002-2003 he impressed Rumsfeld, who was notorious for bullying his flag officers. When Fallon had to fill in for his boss at service chiefs meetings with Rumsfeld, he took...
Monet also shared his Japanese predecessors' fascination with nature and informal scenes of everyday life: compare Monet's two girls at the beach in Les Cousines (1870), downstairs at the Marmottan, to Utagawa Toyokuni's Three Women on a Boat Lamparo Fishing (before 1825), upstairs.

The unconventional, asymmetric "snapshot" composition favored by ukiyo-e artists became a hallmark of Impressionism: a good example is the Marmottan's La Barque (1887), in which Monet places the barque, or boat...
