...level, the Prime Minister's appeal is easy to fathom. "He wants to destroy the things people hate the most," says Heizo Takenaka, an economics professor who last spring joined the Cabinet. At the top of that list: the crusty political barons and their backroom deals, the endless paving of highways that go nowhere, schools that stress conformity over creativity. Yet in any time but the present, Koizumi would never have been trusted. He has a reputation as a lone wolf, a bit of an eccentric. In the past, that would have doomed him in a nation where mavericks traditionally...
...possible aspects of the disaster, the footage of survivors crouched behind cars and coated in white soot (while the newscaster babbles on about the symbolism of “American Capitalism Under Attack”—a real movie title, isn’t it?), and the endless screaming photos on the front page of each newspaper, photos of my home city swallowed by a cloud of dust. Each image hammered home to that empty gasping place somewhere below my heart...
Your feature on America's Best in Science and Medicine was about as useful to me as the endless credits at the end of movies and TV shows.

...love is rarely the problem; it’s usually lack of education. Parents love their children and desperately want them to be successful. In the meantime, the pressures of day-to-day life are so frustrating, particularly in poor areas, that many children slip through the cracks into endless hours of T.V. babysitting, unhealthy eating habits, regular hooky from school and perpetually late bedtimes. To parents, children engaged in mindless activity don’t seem neglected, because at least the children are “occupied.” But really, by the time they reach grade school...
...beautiful and interesting excursions, the country outside Jinghong provides endless choices. Walkers can enjoy jungle jaunts along the Mekong and through Dai or Hani villages (see DETOUR). The main draw is the cultural diversity of tribal minorities. Predominantly populated by the Buddhist Dai, Banna is ethnically linked to the hill tribes of Laos, Burma and northern Thailand. Other smaller groups in the area are the Hani and Lahu peoples, mainly of Tibetan stock. Known for their hospitality and resistance to assimilation, the indigenous cultures provide a color and individualism very different from that found in other, more monolithic parts...
