...elementary school in Ikeda, a suburb of Osaka in western Japan. Then the screams grew louder. On the first floor, second-graders were just finishing music class when a large man in cream-colored trousers madly dashed toward them, muttering incoherently as he attacked pupils with a lethal 15-cm-bladed kitchen knife. He stabbed three boys standing by a chalkboard. When a girl tried to escape, he chased her down a corridor. "Run! Run!" a second child yelled. A teacher threw a chair at the attacker, who dodged it and then stabbed him. Then the man ran into another...
...right field, Ichiro puts on a calisthenics clinic. If he's not rolling his shoulders, he's stretching his quads. If he's not stretching his quads, he's bending at the waist and touching his toes. When he sits at his locker, Ichiro methodically rubs a 15-cm wooden stick up and down the sides and the bottoms of his feet. "It's for pressure points," he says through an interpreter. "If your feet are healthy, you're healthy." In an effort to keep his vision sharp, Ichiro rarely watches television for extended periods without wearing sunglasses. Before every...
...airboard is light enough to carry anywhere in the house, and can send and receive data wirelessly from a base station hooked up to home-entertainment equipment. A 10.4-in.

...world to actually live in one. Fittingly, they decorated their futuristic flat in whites, creams and light pine to achieve, according to Raymond, "something a bit Zen." Both love the living-room entertainment center. They watch videos downloaded via a broadband Internet connection on a 42-in. (107-cm) flat-panel plasma screen, and use a wireless keyboard to operate the remote, surf the Net and dim the lights to a romantic, theater glow. Raymond reads the local paper online so he doesn't have to pay for a subscription to the print version...
...face. Nika looks kind of stuck-up and bitchy. Ditto for Celine. Also, she reportedly slept with U.S. radio shock jock Howard Stern and that's just gross. The Japanese doll, Mai, looks a bit too schoolgirlish with her pigtails. I decide on Stacy. Sure, with her 58-cm (23-in) waist, 95-cm (36-in) size C breasts and taut stomach, she's a babe. But don't hate her because she's beautiful. Since my mom is kind of conservative, the black mini-dress, size zero (women don't like women who wear size zero) would have...
