...more billionaires than China, 81% of its population lives on $2 a day or less, compared with 47% of Chinese, according to the 2005 U.N. Population Reference Bureau Report. That class divide is starkest in cities like Bombay, where million-dollar apartments overlook million-population slums. For all its glitz, Bombay remains a temple to inefficiency. In 2003 it had one bus for every 1,300 people, two public parking spots for every 1,000 cars, 17 public toilets for every million people and one civic hospital for 7.2 million people in the northern slums, according to a report...
...sobriety is an age-old Milanese rivalry--one that goes back to the early days of Italian ready-to-wear when Giorgio Armani stood on one side of the fashion ring with his sleek, pared-down pantsuits and Gianni Versace fought back with high-octane glamour and glitz.

Since U Been Gone was named the third-best single of 2005 in the Village Voice's industry-wide poll of music critics, which a few years ago would have been as inconceivable as seeing The Da Vinci Code's Dan Brown on the list of Pulitzer finalists. "There...
YOUR HOMETOWN IS STRUGGLING. YET HERE COMES THE SUPER BOWL, WITH ALL ITS GLITZ, BEING PLAYED AT A STADIUM NAMED AFTER FORD, WHICH JUST CUT 30,000 JOBS. ANY MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THAT AWKWARD TIMING? It's disappointing that Detroit is going through what it has to go through. You never want that to happen, especially at a time when you want to showcase the city. So it's difficult to handle. But it's home, and I'll always love home...
