...stage door opens and iconic figures spill into the Soho street: a plump, old-fashioned bobby, who proceeds to direct traffic; a chorus line of chimney sweeps; and finally, a maroon-coated nanny who shivers on the sidewalk and seems in need of a little magic. The cause of all this commotion is a fire alert at the Prince Edward Theatre, which has interrupted rehearsals for the most eagerly awaited musical of this West End season - Mary Poppins.

In 1887, writers Alexandre Dumas fils and Guy de Maupassant were among the artists to protest the construction of "a gigantic black factory chimney" now known as the Eiffel Tower. After losing that battle, Maupassant favored the restaurant at the base - it was the only place where the tower didn't mar his view. Parisians eventually grew to love that monument, but they've never accepted many of the tall buildings that went...
