...form of a pirate-ship quest across an oceanic world. Legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto (Mario Bros., Donkey Kong) has packed the adventure with echoes of and improvements on its predecessors' puzzles. The cartoon-like graphics are pure eye candy--sumptuously smooth and lovingly detailed. (Check out the heat haze from flames or your hero's wet footprints as he crawls out of the sea.) We can't wait for the sequel. --By Chris Taylor
Just before 8 a.m., a Chinook-46 helicopter landed and whisked away those last Marines, drawing up plumes of the tear gas they had dispersed in the embassy to discourage people from going to the roof. And in that vaporous haze, the American war in Vietnam--a debacle that took 16 years and 58,000 American lives--finally ended. --By John Cloud
Just outside, in Tiananmen Square, 300,000 people squinted through a yellow haze of soot to see the man who, after two decades of fighting, had routed the American-backed forces of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.

Hamed, 70, lives closer to the enemy than any other Iraqi. His mud-and-concrete house is scarcely 500 yards from the ridge; his village, Khardeh (pop. 280), adjoins the border post...
...free days, go for a stroll along the broad, grassy Rajpath avenue, New Delhi's Champs Elys?es. Featuring the President's residence with its ornamental lakes on either side and India Gate, it is on every tour of India's capital. But with distant views disappearing into the daytime haze, Rajpath can also be an uncomfortable reminder of how far New Delhi is from breathing easy. Early evening, however, when the congestion eases and the monuments are illuminated, is a joy. For a quick history lesson, head southeast to the 16th century Humayun's Tomb. This red-and-white building...
