...visitors complained that the 1930s imperial-style building was poorly lit, the signage and explanations were inadequate, and the gallery floor plans were confusing. But now, after a first-class refurbishment wrapped up in August, all that has changed. New skylights and lighting configurations have given the place a brighter feel; glass display cases have been removed wherever possible to allow more up-close viewing; every major gallery is now explained with copious context; and leaflets describe featured works in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English...
That’s the lesson to be gleaned from the battle to install emergency call boxes on Cambridge Common. Outcry for brighter lighting and blue-light phones on the historic Common began nearly 11 months ago, after the first of a string of 12 sexual assaults that occurred around campus last fall and winter.

But as part of the push to trumpet its newer, higher-quality winemaking, Chile is turning to wine tourism as a means of selling a brighter national identity.

Four-star Spanish-colonial-style hotels like the Santa Cruz Plaza are sprouting up, and festivals like the Vendimia (grape harvest) are drawing new crowds of foreigners. At the bottom...
...placed fifth at the Zagreb meet?could finally help correct the nation's lackluster track record. In Sydney, China won just one track medal, and that came in the less glamorous sport of racewalking. Japan has a proud history in the marathon, but the klieg lights are far brighter in the sprinting events, and success in Athens would further electrify a nation already riding high on the exploits of exported baseballers, such as Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki, who have proved that in addition to precise pitching, Japanese can also smack a ball with considerable power...
