...Green Is Good Shinto's veneration of nature fits right in with the world's new environmental consciousness. With 127 million people crammed ont0 a few small islands, Japan has for decades had little choice but to be green. But Japan's environmental fetish goes beyond separating bottles from cans or even designing eco-friendly buildings. Industrial designer Matsui, whose latest hit in Paris is a mannequin robot that interacts with passersby, named his seven-year-old company Flower Robotics. "For a long time, flowers were seen just as something beautiful, not a necessity," he says. "But the relationship between...
...forefront is Jean-Christophe Ansanay-Alex ("J.C. A.A." to his habitués), who likes to take an English staple like fish and chips with mushy peas and turn it into Dover sole with vegetable root chips, sauce Paloise and green-pea puree.

One man has a curled handlebar mustache and watery pale-blue eyes. The men in this group won't talk to the press and keep walking off to stand and talk in a circle in the orchard...
...Once inside, the fans were loud, yet always in control. Many shook noisemakers that featured three plastic hands stacked on top of one another; one was pink, the second green, and the third hand yellow. Made in China, of course. They screamed every time a Chinese player dunked - in warm-ups. The game lived up to its billing as a battle between rivals that share mutual respect. The Chinese fans cheered whenever the U.S. did something spectacular (and with Wade soaring, James blocking shots, and a full court press that created easy baskets, there were plenty of chances to show...
