...books. (Ricketts "was part of my brain," the Nobel-prizewinning writer later said.) In the hazy predawn hours, over mugs of his home brew, Ricketts spouted poetry (Walt Whitman was a favorite), discussed modern art with ease and engaged in a game he called speculative metaphysics. Boozy bull sessions? Perhaps, but Ricketts also waxed eloquently about the power of cause and effect in nature?s life cycles. He saw a deep unity in elements that others might regard as incompatibly different. Above all, he espoused holistic thinking long before it became a contemporary clich?...

...girlfriend's features, actually shows a human making love with a god. And not just any god, but the big guy, Zeus, who took the form of a shower of gold to seduce Danaë. (For Zeus this was normal: he liked to dress up as a swan, bull, cloud or whatever when wooing the ladies.) If such godly shenanigans leave you cold, you can concentrate on a detail like landscape or jewelry, and be amazed by the different ways Titian handles it. You can look past Bacchus' right knee and enjoy the view of a far-off city...

...most music tastes; one of the best is the funk-tastic Tapas, (662) 234 4737. Stargazers should head to the Greyhound Caf? in The Empori-um, which resounds with the gossipy banter of soap-opera divas, pop stars and actress-models-despite signs designating areas in which "NO BULL- SHITTING, NO BACKSTABBING, NO GOSSIPING, NO SMOKING" is allowed...
