...little people are led to believe that once a neighborhood, restaurant or trend has crept into our consciousness, it's no longer authentically cool. In this study, Currid and Williams take aim at that adage. Surveying 300,000 snapshots taken by the photo agency Getty Images at more than 6,000 parties, openings and premieres in 2006 and 2007, the authors attempt to map the cultural epicenters of Los Angeles and New York.

Filmed in the Swat Valley, where the government recently signed a controversial peace deal with the Taliban, the video apparently shows a 17-year-old girl pinned down by as many as three men - among them her brother - while a fourth flogs her repeatedly, chastising her for having an alleged affair.
