...take place, or refrained from stopping them. At the shrine's museum, memorabilia from kamikaze pilots and the Burma death railway are displayed in an unequivocally celebratory and exculpatory style. Visitors there are told, for example, that U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt purposely drew Japan into war, and an exhibit on the "Nanking Incident" does not mention the tens of thousands (and perhaps hundreds of thousands) of Chinese citizens the Japanese military slaughtered in that city in 1937 and 1938 except to say that "the Chinese were soundly defeated suffering heavy casualties. Inside the city, residents were once again able...
Pittsburgh is its Exhibit A. Once hailed as America's Iron City, Pittsburgh has gone from a manufacturing stronghold to a service-dominated economy, a shift that is evident in its abundance of converted mills. The Homestead Grays Bridge, near the site of the famous 1892 steel-mill strike considered by many to be the birthplace of the labor movement, now overlooks a Filene's Basement and a Barnes & Noble, instead of the towering smokestacks that once defined the city skyline.

Zoo officials had optimistically declared that Gita was on her way to a full recovery...
...later anglicized to Arthur Fellig but internationally famous under his two-syllable pseudonym, is set to haunt the public again with his revealing and sometimes macabre images. "Unknown Weegee" will appear at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City from June 9 to Aug. 27. The exhibit is drawn from the ICP's collection of 20,000 of his original prints from the 1930s to the 1950s, and will showcase over 100 of his rarely seen images, including his often gruesome tabloid-documentarist style: murder victims sprawled on boardwalks covered with bloody drop cloths; crime-scene chalk...
