...good measure, there's also the sheer beauty of the architecture at Kotohira-gu. Alongside the dozens of historic wooden shrines, one new addition is a stunning mountaintop building that houses offices as well as a reception area for religious ceremonies?an ultramodern edifice of rusted iron and glass built into the hillside in a way that complements the main shrine building surprisingly well. Takubo helped design the new building with architect Ryoji Suzuki. Its innovative use of light and space?many of the rooms are actually freestanding boxes in the middle of a glassed-in atrium?has made...
...seemed to be enjoying his trip immensely: he feasted on stuffed vine leaves and pastry filled with sheep's cheese in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir.

Schwartzman’s conversation—when he gets a word in edgewise amidst Russell’s freewheeling monologues—swings wildly from dull stories from the Huckabees set to an extended riff on the legacy...
...border, where a gaudy monstrosity has replaced the modest Cape-Cod house that used to serve as the checkpoint for travelers headed north into Canada. I pass under the stainless steel bridge and glance into the reflection-coated windows, and wonder if the security guards behind the bulletproof glass will pick me out as a threatening figure and detain me for further questioning. Since 9-11, nothing is as straightforward for travelers. Even in rural Vermont, the very architecture of the patrol station is there to tell Americans that constant vigilance is the only way to prevent another tragedy...
