...Great visuals. It'd be hard to top last night's procession. Last night was the Royal Barge Procession on Bangkok's main river. The prosaic name doesn't do justice to the event. TV probably doesn't either. Flower decorated candles were sent by the thousands down the river, other lights were sent aloft by balloons like magical fireflies. Elaborate Thai boats, rowed by brightly costumed Thai oarsman, went past the leaders. The fireworks befit a city that treated the APEC summit like it had won the Olympics.

Defining themselves seems to be what the decorating craze is all about for kids, and marketers are happy to oblige with all sorts of easy-to-apply identities.

And so the celebrity spectacle, a.k.a. Bennifer, felt compelled to issue a statement calling off the wedding. Because of "excessive media attention," it said, "we began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives would be compromised." Bennifer...
...propriety and of “dignity,” again to quote from his introduction to the freshman essays. In Archie’s view, Harvard represented the best, and he wanted students to know that they were in a special place. The bow tie, the lapel flower, the dignity of his discourse were all part of that. So was the insistence that the subject of racial differences be introduced to freshmen in the context of discussion of texts between faculty and students, an exercise rich in questions and short on dogmatic answers. The exercise respects the intelligence...
