...light-hearted White House conversation with representatives of Texas newspapers may have opened a new controversy for President George W. Bush. The President laughed when Knight-Ridder?s Ron Hutcheson asked for Mr. Bush?s "personal views" about the theory of "intelligent design", which religious activists advocate should be taught in U.S. schools as an alternative to theories of evolution. After joking that the reporter was "doing a fine job of dragging me back to the past," to his days as governor of Texas, Bush said: "Then, I said that, first of all, that decision should be made to local...
Cannot? On what scientific evidence? Evolution is one of the most powerful and elegant theories in all of human science and the bedrock of all modern biology. Sch?nborn's proclamation that it cannot exist unguided--that it is driven by an intelligent designer pushing and pulling and planning and shaping the process along the way--is a perfectly legitimate statement of faith.

The opening of the W Seoul Walker Hill in 2004 gave visitors to the Korean capital their first trendy alternative to the traditional (and near-identical) business hotels. Now, there's the slick new Park Hyatt Seoul. Granted, it's part of a large chain, but its striking d?cor and Modernist touches give it a fashionably individual...
...Located in Gangnam?Seoul's business heart?the 185-room hotel is the work of avant-garde Tokyo design studio SuperPotato. Fashioned from stone, oak and maple?and featuring lots of natural light?its public spaces are minimalist without being austere. A similar approach is used in guest rooms?but the highlight here is undoubtedly the lavish bathroom in each. Occupying one-third of a standard room, each bathroom features walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, looking over the city skyline as well as into the bedroom. As for amenities, there's a rooftop pool and spa (the views...
