...what his favorite bar and drink are, then going there, downing that drink, and repeating the process. Then there's Monopoly Travel, which consists of exploring a city using only the streets and places featured on the local edition of the iconic board game. "One of my favorites is Ero Tourism," says Henry. "My wife and I travel separately to the same foreign city by different modes of transport, and then try to find each other. We have done it and met six times. The moment we meet is always fantastic." Experimental travel has been slow to take root outside...
...entirely different story. Pumped up by their testosterone-fueled reaction to open fire (hot! dangerous!), and buoyed by the fact that they were causing diners to cry in pain, they were a rowdy, and extremely cheerful, bunch. As I ordered the Infamous Pasta from Hell ($8.50) with habañero sausage and oil-pickled chili peppers, at seven bombs the hottest dish on the menu, they laughed in glee. “When you eat it,” cackled the chef closest to my table, “don’t blame...
Where the Dons come from, mountains are deities. When last week's Millennium World Peace Summit, the grand religious confab affiliated with both the U.N. and Ted Turner, sought South America's purest practitioners of Incan and pre-Incan pantheism for its environmental panel, it turned to the Q'ero nation.

Their prayers capture the essence of the summit's environmental theme: "I am he who greets and takes care/ Of this sweet and beautiful Mother Earth/ to which I will one day return." Their cosmology--which, among other things, holds animals, plants and rivers as the equals of humans--seems ill-suited to urban life. But they are more relaxed than the average New Yorker parachuting into Cuzco. They are completely unfazed when Turner high-fives them during a recess...
...worldly manner answer Producer Jean-Pierre Ponelle's demand for a Falstaff who is "no gross giant" and fits into the rumbustious Elizabethan world he recreates. Gramm is light on his feet and a magical actor as he spins out recollections of his pageboy youth (Quand' ero paggio) and summons up what seems impossible but makes the character human: the memory of Falstaff as a child. He is no opera buffoon, but a laughing knight whether on top of the world or crushed by it. As Ponelle says: "Don't forget that Falstaff is an aristocrat...
