BELFAST, Northern Ireland: The war is over. In what TIME London Bureau Chief Barry Hillenbrand calls "an astonishing departure" from the politics of bloodshed that has dominated Northern Ireland for three decades, people here -- with a record turnout of 81.1 percent -- have voted 71 percent in favor of the landmark peace agreement hammered out last month by eight parties and the British and Irish governments...

You might also venture over to the Ripken Museum, in nearby Aberdeen, Md., which has pictures and memorabilia documenting the Ripken baseball dynasty. Besides baseball, Baltimore has its magnificent Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center...
