Care to witness a stage spectacle complete with glitter pantsuits and choreography worthy of Broadway? No, it’s not “Mamma Mia,” it’s Canadian indie poster-gal Feist’s latest music video...
...high price. You gave up individual needs. The idea of having someone telling you what to think, what to study, what work to do--it's like having four walls closing you in." In some kibbutzim (not Degania), children were separated from parents and raised in collective dormitories. Says Gal-Sarai: "Kibbutzniks from the other places are bringing good business to Tel Aviv's shrinks."

South of the capital in Valenton, one can breathe the swampy odors of a massive wastewater plant that treats 159 million gal. of sewage every day and converts the solid waste into 82,000 tons of combustible pellets--enough to provide 80% of the sewage plant's annual energy needs. And there's that old favorite, les gouts de Paris, the city's sewer and water system dating to the 14th century...
