Back in China, luxury-hotel occupancy in Shanghai has slipped to 30% from the usual overbooked 120% this time of year. A planned visit by President Bush and a World Economic Forum event have...

What better way to spend the holiday than perusing pornographic videos or purchasing a lap dance in Boston’s Combat Zone!
