...heard of the South Beach diet. Now get ready for the latest pound-shedding plans from Sonoma County and Park Avenue. Based on each locale's particular tastes, these new regimens aim to make dieting more palatable by mixing snob appeal with an occasional glass of Pinot. Here's a look at the "destination diets" and a few other weight-loss books worth sampling...
...balancing of these perspectives has been his gift ever since his second novel, tellingly called The Shadow Lines. His epic novel of 2000, The Glass Palace, excavated the imperial history of 19th century Burma in part to highlight the torn affections of an Indian in 1943, not sure whether to side with India, or against Britain, in the war.

...storefront windows being smashed along Beale and Main streets. Moans went up that something was wrong. Young marauders ran through overmatched marshals to attack storefronts ahead of the march--Shainberg's department store, York Arms Company, Perel and Lowenstein's--sometimes needing multiple blows to break the heavy plate glass. A helicopter bulletin at 11:24 a.m. reported 15 young people destroying a parked car a few hundred yards to the side, and marshals relayed shouted commands to halt the line of march...
