...Preval critics responded to the initial protests by accusing Preval of using the same tactics as the former ally from whom he has tried to distance himself, Jean Bertrand Aristide. Two years ago, armed Aristide supporters violently shut down the capital when they felt his presidency was being threatened. "Business as usual," was how the new street protests were described by lawyer Carol Chalmers, a close associate of presidential hopeful Leslie Manigat, who is running a distant second to Preval at just under 12 percent. Another presidential candidate, Charles Henri Baker, echoed the same war cry, and vowed...
...Program, and the First-Year Social Committee earlier in the afternoon. The meeting, organized by Riley, was the first in a series of meetings with student group leaders about the future of social programming that will be held now through March, Riley said.

...more than 20 years, suite 1600 at the InterContinental Hong Kong (intercontinental.com) was one of Asia's best-kept secrets. Landscaped terraces, a private solarium and a Jacuzzi with an eye-popping view of the Hong Kong skyline were some of the features that lured guests from movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. They, and anyone else lucky enough to have passed a night there, probably came away with the feeling that the two-bedroom facility was all but unimprovable. Not true. After a $2.5 million makeover, 1600 has reopened as the hotel...
