...names might be funky, but important architectural details, including original louvered shutters and latticed panels, have been retained. The villas are tastefully decked out with white linen, Asian accessories and a few modern amenities, including a hot shower and a mini fridge. There's no beach at Bon Ton's doorstep, but a pool sits meters away, and McMurtrie's Balinese-style Nam restaurant and Chin Chin Lounge Bar (formerly a 90-year-old shophouse) make up for almost anything. Published rates start from a very reasonable $95 a night...
Such views of Buddhist philosophy as separable from religion are prevalent among Western Buddhist circles and are very much present at Harvard. The Buddhist figure on campus who is most likely to affect students, McHardy, adheres to this view of Buddhism.

"They took beds, air-conditioners, linen, food, ultrasound machines, computers--anything they could carry out," says hospital director Mahdi Jasim Moosa. Since then, the hospital has been refurnished. Some equipment was returned by looters under pressure from neighbors and imams. New fittings have been bought with funds raised in a local mosque and donations from welfare organizations like the Red Cross and CARE. The number of shooting...
...their back-to-school wardrobe, but Newton does it amusingly. As he capers from Singapore to Melbourne to London, we get glimpses of Anita, who couldn't have sex until handkerchiefs were hung over the saints' pictures in her bedroom, and Josette, who left lipstick smears across his white linen shorts. "Josette was unwilling to terminate our affair," he tells us. "I was too good in bed. Our sex wasn't joyous, it was steamy--'schwul...
