...about Palestinian solidarity has never been so easy. Combining style with global enlightenment, a new contender has emerged to replace the Che Guevara T-shirt: the kaffiyeh (pronounced kuh-FEE-yeh), a multipurpose traditional Arabic head scarf. “The new it accessory—a breezy, global-chic scarf,” Teen Vogue raves. Not quite. As a Cambridge fall fashion item, the kaffiyeh is neither breezy nor global-chic. It’s just ugly.

In an all-black ensemble (except for a chic pair of snakeskin moccasins), the six-foot-one couture connoisseur exudes confidence.

...streets of Phnom Penh reveal the country's vast wealth gap. In front of shopping centers selling luxury cosmetics, whole families sleep on patches of sidewalk; beggars missing limbs, a legacy of civil war, crowd outside upscale restaurants where a tiny élite downs French entrées and chic cocktails. But many average Cambodians hope this poverty will vanish, thanks to an apparent miracle: the country has discovered oil. Off Cambodia's southern coast, explorers have found as much as 500 million barrels, potentially providing over $1 billion annually to the country...
