Someone to Blame Expecting little from the main parties that failed to arrest Dagenham's decay, some locals are turning to the British National Party (BNP), a hard-right party that proposes to repatriate residents of foreign descent and stop all immigration. Charisse, a young, unemployed mother who declined to give her last name, says people will vote for the BNP "not because they like them but because we're so pissed off." Her own grouse: she has three children, and thus her one-bedroom public-housing apartment is too small. Her companion, who has turned his back, growling that...
Friday Head over to the oasis known as Garden of Dreams, tel: (977-1) 442 5340, for a stroll and predinner drink. Originally established in the 1920s, this landmark was in decay for decades before an Austrian-funded team finished restoring the Edwardian-influenced pavilions and grounds in 2006.

How else does one explain the artfully peeling paintwork, beautifully bare floorboards and fabrics faded just so at Rough Luxe, www.roughluxe.co.uk - one of London's hottest boutique hotels? All right, it's designer decay, but it's nonetheless a jolt to travelers used to the glossy neutral tones and high-tech wizardry of more conventional offerings...
...futility inherent to Beard’s personal quest for fulfillment and professional crusade against global warming is personified in his own bodily decay. Beard, the lifelong womanizer, neglects his body against his better judgment and the repeated urging of his doctors. Repeated resolutions to lose weight, exercise, and cut back on his daily drinking fall by the wayside as the vinegary scent of potato chips, cool sensation of a scotch-on-the-rocks, and plush comfort of a hotel bed overwhelm Beard’s reptilian brain. This subtle allusion to the problems inherent in collective action against global...
