...visionary geneticist had a clear genetic edge. Capecchi's grandmother was a painter, his uncle a renowned physicist, and his mother Lucy Ramberg an expat American poet living in a chalet in the Italian Alps when Mario was born in 1937. She had fallen in with a group of bohemian writers who believed, her son says with just a trace of bemusement, that "they could wipe out Fascism and Nazism with a pen." After the Gestapo came in 1941 to take her to Dachau, Mario landed on the streets. He was 4 years...
...sporting a vintage black leotard and Chanel flats. She even had side-swept bangs. I decided I liked her even more. “This place is awesome,” I yelled to my friends as they dutifully followed me into the party. “What charming bohemians these students are! What fashion mavens!” When I got into the party, however, I was shocked.Every single man was wearing skinny jeans. Fedoras were as frequent as typhoid in an early colonial settlement.

...famed pilsner beer. That's because for more than 40 years, the 65-year-old retired engineer has been a daily patron of Budweiser - not that pale thirst-quencher produced by Anheuser-Busch, but the hearty, bitter lager from the small Budejovicky Budvar brewery in the South Bohemian town of Ceske Budejovice.

"Every time I arrived in Budejovice I first hurried to a pub," Moravec says as he recalls his grim years in Pilsen...
...legislature that heard Chavez's speech is itself an odd creature: Every member is allied with the President, although their workload was considerably reduced at the start of this year when Chavez began ruling by decree. The legislature is also given a rather bohemian tint by the fact that it has its own theater troupe. On the evening of Chavez's marathon address, an actor with garments evoking a past century pranced around the floor of the legislature sporting an anguished look. He shook his fists and waved his arms, pleading loudly with the crowd. He was portraying independence hero...
...novels (to the chagrin, one presumes, of his parents, who were both teachers of Japanese literature). It continues to this day in the deliberate distance he keeps from Japan's literary community, and in his abstemious mode of living. "Writers and artists are supposed to live a very unhealthy, bohemian kind of life," says Murakami. "But I just wanted to do it differently." So he rises at 4 a.m. to write for hours before swimming or running, training for marathons and lately triathlons as well. Murakami says he needs the exercise to keep up his stamina for the draining work...
