...some cites are doing things right, Klein says, and setting a constructive example. Ten years ago, Los Angeles County implemented a grade-card system that requires restaurants to display letter grades given to them by health inspectors. Restaurants that score 90 or above on the 100-point health-inspection measure receive an A; those that score 80 to 89 receive a B; and so forth. The program, which Las Vegas and St. Louis, Mo., have since adopted, has been well-received by consumers. Surveys suggest that most diners notice the grade cards, approve of the system overall and feel convinced...
...crowd. The game was the hottest ticket in town; fans from the Philippines, India, Senegal and the Solomon Islands checked in.

Lang also happens to be one of China's best-ever volleyball players, a willowy athlete nicknamed the "Iron Hammer" for having led China to a legendary gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Far from shunning Lang for lending her talents to the American team, crowds of Chinese cheered her arrival in Beijing this week before the games. Even the visiting Americans have been impressed with Lang's enduring popularity. "I think that's such a rare thing, to see Chinese fans support our country...
