...chaser after your bath, there's the Hanezawa Beer Garden in Hiroo. Built on an old estate, the torch-lit outdoor bar is the ideal place to sit and sip an ice-cold brew under the stars. From there it's a quick cab ride to the sleek new Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, one of the city's shopping and restaurant hubs. The hotel features 21st century touches (web-enabled flat-screen TVs) and stunning views as far as Mount Fuji. Did I mention the marble baths...

You may need dark glasses to view a Californian field photographed in 1978 (only a few of Eggleston's images have titles), in which mauve lupins are almost lost against a background of chrome yellow flowers under a cerulean sky.

He leads me to a house phone. I speak with an operator and discover that I have not been paged. The blue-coated man asks me how things went on the phone, and I must report to him that...
...indeed the day showed both the best of times and the worst of possibilities--but not always in the ways you might expect. At Pine Street the yellow and white tent was donated, as were the flowers. A cerulean sky and cool morning air hung over the neighborhood's old brick buildings. Reich pondered his speech, in which he would remind the recently derelict grads that the great economy isn't trickling down to everyone; that the vagaries of life--and the inevitable economic downturn--would try them again. Couldn't he be more optimistic on this, their...
