Unfortunately, the tobacco industry has turned its eye towards developing countries to compensate for an increasingly hostile regulatory environment and declining market at home. In many countries abroad, cigarette makers, unhampered by even the lightweight regulations that exist in the U.S., are free to advertise or package as they wish--in the process, misleading both adults and youth about the dangers of smoking. A recently published study revealed, for example, that lung cancer was recognized as related to smoking by only 40 percent of both smokers and nonsmokers in China. This sort of documentation is pervasive, from Sri Lanka...
...voice is nasal and singsongy, full of flat Chicago vowels. He is 57, his hair and beard trimmed close, and his upbeat manner hardly resembles that of the man who three years ago was marched out of his tiny Montana cabin and into infamy. He makes constant eye contact, laughs easily and often; when it's time for a photograph, he jokingly pops out a fake front tooth, as if to parody the deranged mountain-man image he inhabits in the public's mind. He is, for the most part, affable, polite and sincere. It would almost be easy...
...this may sound implausible on paper--how can you have a musical without singers?--but the results are magical, especially when seen on the three-quarter-round stage of a theater so intimate that you can look every performer right in the eye.

"Success has nothing to do with sticking an arrow into the bull's-eye," he says. "It's all about practice--practicing taking the arrow out of the quiver, practicing notching the string. When you have worked at the process for years, the arrow hits the target naturally. Fishing, climbing, selling, it's all the same...
...taken a few lessons over the years, but they hadn't mastered all the moves. Then the Goshen, N.Y., couple signed on for a 10-day dance tour of Buenos Aires, birthplace of the tango. Now there's no need to hide. Says Raspa: "To the untrained eye, we're pretty good." For as little as $2,600, which includes airfare, Tango Tours with a Twist leads travelers on a whirlwind dance through afternoon workshops with tango masters, evening dinners and tango shows, nights at the hottest milongas (tango dance halls). "It was an immersion experience, in the same...
