...will be forever remembered because he broke all the rules and made you gasp while doing so. Indeed, the airport's closure was another nail in the coffin for the era of romantic travel?Kai Tak was the last embodiment of an age when commercial flying was a buzz. Even an airline amenity kit became a novelty when you flew into Hong Kong: the supplied blindfold was not for sleeping but for landing. And you only used the earplugs once you landed: these were not for ears but nostrils because the first smell of Hong Kong was of its Kowloon...
...Internet boom has not missed Dean. Rather, it has handed him a bonanza of cash and buzz that would make most 1990s dotcom veterans--and politicians--weep. In the past three months, it was revealed last week, Dean has raised $7.5 million, $1.5 million more than his nearest Democratic rival, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, nudging Dean into the top tier of Democratic candidates.

That's an unusually high number; Hayao Miyazaki's anim? film Spirited Away, the top Japanese movie ever, with $258 million in box-office gross, debuted on 320 screens. As of last week, advance ticket sales were three times Spirited Away's over the same period...
...Blankets" has officially arrived, debuting to significant buzz at the MOCCA Art Festival (see TIME.comix coverage). Anticipation was high thanks to Thompson's previous (and first) book, 1999's "Good Bye Chunky Rice." An allegorical fantasy about lost friendships that featured cute talking animals and oddball characters, fans of "Chunky Rice" will be surprised at the change in Thompson's approach. No longer allegorical, "Blankets" is grounded in autobiographical reality.
