...like some amorphous ogre, pregnant with menace, glaring up with three vast, unblinking eyes. The colors looked so unnatural that at first I thought I was peering into tailing ponds filled with toxic sludge from a large mining operation. Then the pilot informed us we were looking at the crater lakes of Keli Mutu, or "burning mountain." One was dirty brown, one jet black and the other a brilliant milky turquoise...
...majestic new stadium on the South Korean isle of Cheju basks in the noon sun, just like the crater volcanoes that dot this tropical wonderland and inspired the arena's form. Meanwhile, in Miyagi, Japan, a $585 million marvel of a stadium sits in the rolling countryside like a gleaming samurai helmet, designed to hold nearly 50,000 spectators. "The World Cup gave us the perfect opportunity to develop a real infrastructure," crows Junji Ogura, vice president of the Japan Football Association. There's just one problem: neither the Cheju nor Miyagi stadiums is home to a football team...
...only other serious challenger, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani, also pulled out of the race. PAKISTAN Consulate Car Bomb A car bomb exploded outside the U.S. consulate in the southern city of Karachi, injuring more than 40 people and killing at least 11, including the bomber.

One U.S. Marine and five Pakistani consulate employees were among the injured. The U.S. immediately closed diplomatic missions in Pakistan as well...

With the crater long ago filled in, they can only gaze out on a rolling field that protrudes like a bald spot from a grove of hemlocks. "The horror of the event and the beauty of the place are so stark," says Edward Linenthal, the author of The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American...
Across the stage, in front of the cameras and under the lights, we find Reeves in his familiar uniform (long black coat, dark shades) at the bottom of a crater being drenched by a rainstorm manufactured by overhead sprinklers. Later, drying off in his trailer, Reeves won't elaborate on that particular shot (it takes place in a climactic battle scene in part three), but he does give the following overview of the trilogy: "The first one is about birth," says Reeves. "The second one is life; the third is death." Thanks, Keanu...
