...seminars, I would look out the window and there it would be—the Capitol. Not the fake image they stick behind Darryl Hammond or whoever happens to be playing the president now on “Saturday Night Live,” but the actual Capitol dome. And when I looked at it, from home or work, I felt lighter, happier, inspired. I know it sounds hackneyed, but the more I lived in Washington, and the more time I spent in the Capitol and around the Congress, the more the sight of that building moved me. Wherever...
...front of him was a copper model of Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock, dusted clean, though the rest of the room was shabby. Behind him was a treadmill, unplugged and wedged into the corner, its disuse perhaps explaining his tubbiness. Framed like this, Sheik Jamal Salim sat for an interview with TIME a few days before the beginning of the Aqsa intifadeh last year, predicting that such an uprising against Israel was imminent. The sheik argued that it was not Hamas fundamentalists like him who endangered peace, but Israel. "I'm not dangerous," said the sheik...
Flashbulbs pop and school-girls squeal as Ben Affleck appears from behind a plume of smoke in the middle of the Tokyo Dome. Young fans scream, "Ben! I love you, Ben!" The actor winks at the camera, which projects his face on two screens, and the crowd of 30,000 goes wild. Then Affleck, flanked by director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, hops onto the trunk of a yellow Ford Mustang convertible that wheels around the stadium.

Pick up the needle. Drop it on the record. DJ Craze, a.k.a. Aristh Delgado, is onstage at the 2000 DMC/Technics World DJ Championships in the Millennium Dome in London, and he's playing the crowd like a video game. Craze, 23, won the world championships in 1998 in Paris; he won again in 1999 in New York City. Most DJs just spin and scratch, maybe toss in a few behind-the-back tricks. When Craze spins, it's art--he twists notes in the air the way Jackson Pollock used to drip paint on a canvas. Now, at the London...
...them? The Belgian waffles, the Futurama architecture, it all used to seem so important. Yet the U.S. didn't even bother to erect a pavilion for the one last year in Hanover, Germany. And, really, why should it have? Who needs to stand in line outside a geodesic dome to find out what America produces? Who needs a product-display center to discover Lucinda Williams? Or a monorail to take you to Philip Roth or Tom Ford? Anywhere in the world you find a movie screen or a museum, a bookstore or a TV, a clothing outlet or a computer...
