"To some extent we are sitting on a powder keg and people could say, 'look at all this violence and terrorism,' and we could have run from it," notes Jemas.

Dubai used to be famous only for funneling bleary-eyed passengers through endless duty-free malls, a drab modern-day souk experience only slightly enlivened by some sensational bargains. But now, offering beaches with year-round sunshine, million-dollar horse races (see Detour) and the world...
Even as the search teams lift out body parts and the cranes haul out concrete blocks, other cranes will be rebuilding. While the downtown area west of Broadway will remain off limits until after the cleanup is finished and the crime scene closed down, businesses east of Broadway should be functioning this week. "The infrastructure of New York is laid out along the same grid as the city streets," explains Sam Schwartz, head of an engineering consulting firm and former New York City traffic commissioner. "This means that there are alternative paths to almost any building. If some...
