...Rather more eccentric, the Dead Fish Tower, besides hosting its very own crocodile pit, promises not to serve dog, cat, rat or worm. And there are some tasteful surprises, like Blue Pumpkin, a café with stark white tables, loungers and beds that are briskly attended by beaming, black-clad staff. The day's leftovers are donated to charity, and on festive days Blue Pumpkin's delivery van tours outlying villages, handing out free bread and cookies. "You can't live here without being aware of the poverty," says Frenchman Arnaud Curtat, who started Blue Pumpkin with his wife...
...Roman truism says that every new Pope changes the papacy, and the papacy changes every new Pope. In the case of Benedict XVI, a casual observer might wonder if the man who once was an iron-clad Cardinal has recently gone soft.

The joint’s attitude is nicely summed up by its counter-top sign, which depicts an all-too-cheery blonde chatting it up on a mobile phone. The following words are written alongside: “Hey! Cell phone-face! You’re out of line...
...modern secular state - in both the Western and Muslim worlds - that gives due space to faith? And, perhaps just as importantly, can he keep the world's attention? The answers will depend on whether Benedict can strike the right balance between his newfound flexibility and an ancient, iron-clad faith...
