Even though Narciso Rodriguez lives and works in New York City, he finds much of his design inspiration on trips to Rio de Janeiro, where he goes to unwind. In fact, he started to go to Brazil so frequently?three times a year, at least???that he finally bought himself a beach house in Bahia, on the edge of the Atlantic rain forest. "At first I went to Rio, and then I started to branch out and go to places like Bahia," says Rodriguez. "Now when I go, I sketch a lot." He gets inspired watching the active crowds...
Diplomats don't get paid to be blunt (at least??not in public), but here's the undiplomatic truth: no one involved in negotiating with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il over nukes expects a smooth process. "If you're asking whether anyone thought the road to total disarmament would be completely straightforward," says an official who until recently was closely involved in the so-called six-party talks, "with no backsliding, no new demands, no different interpretations of timetables or whatever, then no, the answer is, of course...
...days, historians--at least??some of them--were patriotic and moralistic. No longer. We live in what Andrew Ferguson, in his brilliant new book, Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe's America, calls "a wised-up era." Now, Ferguson explains, "skepticism about the country, its heroes and its history" is "a mark of worldliness and sophistication." Ferguson is himself a worldly and sophisticated observer of contemporary America. (Full disclosure: he also happens to be a colleague of mine at the Weekly Standard.) But his guided tour of the often amusing, sometimes bizarre ways we remember Lincoln today leads us gently...
Most of us have learned at least??the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, at some point in our lives. The layperson's--and sometimes the doctor's--emergency treatment of choice when someone goes into cardiac arrest, CPR involves using the heel of the hand to push deeply into the victim's chest, while administering periodic mouth-to-mouth breaths. But the sobering fact is that the procedure just doesn't work very well; in fact, almost 95% of cardiac-arrest victims die before they reach a medical center. In light of a stat like that one, the American...
...At least??there's no debating this: with roughly two weeks to go until the election, the presidential race is again locked in a virtual dead heat, according to a new TIME survey of likely voters. The narrow split-- President George W. Bush leads Senator John Kerry by a statistically insignificant margin of 2 points, 48% to 46%, with Ralph Nader pulling in a solid 3%--can be seen across almost every measure in the survey...
