Browsing at my bus stop’s street newsstand, I discovered that they sold almost as much pornography as legitimate newspapers. Billboards that line Nevsky Prospect advertise strip clubs with boustier-clad women with underwear around their ankles. A friend of mine sat down outdoors at a cafe near our university only to discover that inside it turned into a strip club. While the program students were emphatically warned to watch out for pickpockets, most of my female friends have found themselves defending more than their wallets from the wandering hands of male strangers. After one of my classmates...
...after a four-year and some $50 million transformation by Michael Hopkins. Piccadilly Gardens, remodeled by the British landscape design firm EDAW, and including the celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando's first British building, opened in June. Also in June came Ian Simpson's sleek, sandblasted-glass-clad $43.5 million Urbis, which will house a museum dedicated to the history of cities. It inaugurated the new Millennium Quarter, an area that was once Manchester's medieval heart that long ago stopped beating. Later this month the Commonwealth Games will begin with an opening ceremony in the $157 million City...
...make love all night but last only 15 minutes. • That one mustn't listen to the smooth-talkers. The next time someone says, 'I'm going to plant a tree,' he'll have to have a shovel in his hand before I believe him.

...muskets loaded with blanks and reenact the battle of Lexington. The town’s Historic Districts Commission must approve everything along the stretch of Mass. Ave. that serves as the town center—from signs in store windows to bike racks. High school students and senior citizens, clad in “traditional” tricorn hats made in China, lead tourists around the Battle Green where the battle of Lexington took place. This is the same land that today hosts practices of the high school’s ultimate frisbee team and serves as a water stop...
...football found its way into the heart of folks in the most unexpected places?like the host countries, where soccer is hardly the prevailing pasttime. In the first half of Japan's initial match against Belgium, which resulted in a draw, many of the 55,256-strong, blue-clad home crowd sat strangely mute. But when Takayuki Suzuki scored Japan's first goal of World Cup 2002, Saitama Stadium erupted in a frenzy of pride. And once the Japanese got the hang of it, they could not be stopped. The night their team defeated Russia, Kyoko Ebata, 28, a Tokyo...
