...walk, we stop in the small park at the north holding The Real World, Tom Otterness? playfully satiric sculpture garden. The witty images - a fat cat borne on a huge coin by oppressed little men, the teetering Babel of a miniature skyscraper (protected by a moat where odd creatures lurk), the iron dog eyeing an iron cat eyeing an iron bird eyeing an iron worm - all testify to a Boschian view of predatory capitalism; and the kids love it. And walking through the Winter Garden plaza, we make sure our visitors read the legend, from poet Frank O?Hara, that...
...Children measures 23 ft. by 54 ft. by 16 ft. and literally spills down the wall and onto the floor, the overflow composed of little pieces of plastic that together form patchwork carpets of abstract art. Each of his canvases swims with details. Humans, angels and the devil sometimes lurk in the corners.

...Despite the presence of United Nations peacekeepers in East Timor, menace and misery lurk just across the border.

In Europe, the single-currency system called the euro may be fighting for its survival if stagflation continues to cripple the region. And in Asia, Japan's new Prime Minister...
...these are terrestrial and mundane risks. Sharks lurk in the vast, mysterious ocean, an element that still stirs mythic fear. Science is shedding light on why sharks behave the way they do. Researchers are tracking sharks via satellites and coming closer to understanding why they attack humans. The three large sharks that account for most attacks on people--the great whites, the tigers and the bull sharks--have been studied extensively. We now know that great white sharks keep their blood warmer than the surrounding water, that tiger sharks do not return to the site of an attack to prey...
