...scary for a lot of people. These things don't require that we leave the house." And perhaps the audience, surfeited with sexual fairy tales, is ready for reality. How else to explain Darren Star, father of the giddily ludicrous Melrose Place, creating a show that's a tour de force of sexual honesty...
...attract tourists. The flocks of Europeans (there are conspicuously few American sightseers in Chiapas) visit the colonial city of San Cristobal or the ruins at Palenque. They usually just use Comitan as a stop-off point to obtain a Guatemalan visa or to take a colectivo to the Lagunas de Montebello, 52 km away. Thus, my being here has become known throughout town.

It may have been a nifty business ploy...
...United States, to new levels of recognition. Already a victory parade in his hometown of Austin awaits, as well as a high-profile round of television and commercial appearances. In fact, Nike ads have begun airing touting Armstrong as the "first dead man" to win the Tour de France, a slogan the cyclist reportedly loves. Most important, though, Armstrong has demonstrated to cancer patients around the world that the dreaded disease can be vanquished ? and then some. "The message is that even a serious disease is not always totally devastating," says Golden. And that good medicine and staying...
