...authentic cuisine to counter the proliferation of fast-food restaurants. Slow travelers, says Kenny, prefer a "concentric circle" approach to tourism: go out the front door and explore the neighborhood and nearby towns, get to know the locals instead of slavishly following guidebook itineraries. Kenny and her husband Steve Cohen, 59, were in a Munich art gallery filled with Rubenses when it struck her that seeing all the standard tourist highlights was exhausting and there must be a better way to get to know a foreign city. "I hit the wall--I couldn't look at one more painting...
...State Senator Steve Cohen won last month's winner-take-all Democratic primary to fill Ford's seat, with 31% overall, in a field that included a dozen black candidates. A respected, sometimes pugnacious legislator, Cohen is probably the Tennessee General Assembly's best-known liberal. The Midtown Memphis district he has represented for a quarter century contains a generous number of blacks. Indeed, Cohen carried several predominantly black precincts and two local black mayors, Willie Herenton of Memphis and A. C.

Activists are fearful that as the Rev. La Simba Gray put it, "for the first time in 32 years, African Americans will be without representation in the U.S. Congress from West Tennessee...
...Ford himself has said he'll stay neutral regarding Cohen and his brother Jake. But the rest of the family is splitting over the race.

But Harold Sr., a former congressman, has gone all-out for son Jake, especially since longtime rival Herenton put down young Ford as unqualified (he dropped out of high school) and accused the Fords of seeking "a monopoly on all elected positions in this state and this...
DARTMOUTH The offensive line must improve after allowing 54 sacks last season. Four starters return from that unit, and the team is deep at the wide receiver and tight end positions. Sophomore quarterback Josh Cohen is academically ineligible, so Tom Bennewitz, who had never taken a snap prior to last week’s loss against Colgate, is the new starter. The defense gave up the second-most points in the league, but has a pair of returning fifth-year seniors at defensive tackle in Mike Rabil and Brian Osimiri...
