...such lasting appeal. When juxtaposed with Limp Bizkit’s overbearing machismo, Creed’s creepy blend of pop and religion, or John Mayer’s annoying, emo voice, Cobain’s gut-wrenching howl and skillfully dissonant guitar-playing are as refreshing as a brick in Sean Paul’s face. Today, 10 years after Cobain’s suicide, his music appeals to us for the same reasons it did in 1991, when “Smells Like Teen Spirit” topped the charts, muffling the saccharine platitudes of Michael Jackson?...
...With its curved walls painted brick red, cobalt blue, lemon yellow and gray, Danubiana was built to resemble a Roman galley about to sail into the serene expanse of the Danube. Since it opened in 2000 and Yellow House closed, the museum has hosted some 30 shows featuring artists like Spanish sculptor Mart?n Chirino, Dutch painter Ad Snijders and Slovak painter Peter Poll?g. Coming up are "True Colors," the work of 68 U.S. artists responding to Sept. 11 (April 6 to May 23), and a retrospective of Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz (May 25 to June 17). Although no longer obsessed...

...unlike our hometowns, Cambridge and Boston invite walkers. The brick sidewalks, despite their unfortunate tendency to capture kitten heels, are wide and well-kempt. The walk from Harvard to Central Square reveals an attractive, (slightly) more raffish side of Cambridge; in Boston, walks around the Common and Public Garden are rewarded with views of the golden dome of the Statehouse and of the swan boats...
Meanwhile, the war rooms of the two campaigns are organizing to quickly seize any opportunity for attack. On the first floor of the brick-and-glass office building where Bush forces are housed in Arlington, Va., a bank of TiVos captures Kerry's every word. A team arrives at 4:30 a.m. to sift through the papers and prepare responses before the sun rises. When Kerry unleashes even the mildest broadside, the young staff members go almost giddy, and a call issues: "Attack!" Comments from Kerry in the morning papers are incorporated into Bush's noon speeches...
