...Good luck scoring that view if you live in the territory. The Quarterdeck is one of the very few al fresco restaurants open to the public on the harbor, and visiting it on foot involves negotiating an obstacle course over highways and through office buildings. And?be warned?the view isn't entirely idyllic. As well as those sampans, patrons can also watch half a dozen barges dumping stone and dirt into the water, hence each day robbing Hong Kong of a little more of its most famous feature...
...That process has been going on pretty much from the time that Britain took possession of what its Foreign Secretary back in 1841 called a "barren rock." Whatever else they may have been good at, successive generations of Hong Kong people have been terrific at filling in their harbor.

Watching Walter Lloyd conduct a high-speed car chase or evade pursuers by diving off a bridge into the icy waters of Hamburg harbor is, if you are a gentleman of a certain age, roughly equivalent to watching Phil Niekro win his 300th game. It extends the effective life of one's youthful fantasies a few minutes more. But while stimulating that harmless activity, Target also encourages a modest re-examination of the ideological scaffolding on which the older generation erected some of its dreamwork...
