...along, too, to gauge this pre-Depression Baby's reaction to one of the most unbridled examples of 21st century self expression and self indulgence? Techno-hippies, freaks, self-described "mutants," the pierced and the tattooed and the nude streamed past us on foot, on bicycles and in two-decker "art cars" festooned to look like pirate ships and space shuttles...
...less to prove than Beijing. It may have plenty of troubles: a congested city center, topsy-turvy real-estate prices. But lack of confidence is not one of London's problems. The Closing Ceremony's eight-minute preview spot for the upcoming host featured a charming double-decker bus loaded with a small cast of characters that included rocker Jimmy Page.

Such fumbles are a gift to Livingstone, whose success or failure will resonate loudly in Westminster. Voters throughout England and Wales are casting ballots in municipal elections on the same day, and Gordon Brown's battered Labour government is expected to perform miserably, losing perhaps as many as 200 local council seats...
Disagreements about the Cambridge City Council’s relationship with the Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) brought heated debate to the Council’s weekly meeting last night. Councillor Marjorie C. Decker introduced a proposition requesting a “dollar-to-dollar review” of the funding that the Council provides to CHA, citing CHA’s lack of formal accountability to the Council and its recent decision to remove obstetrician-gynecologist services from three of its 12 neighborhood clinics. The Council approved Decker’s measure with an amendment requiring the city manager...
