Elegance without arrogance is the mantra at Capella Castlemartyr in County Cork, Ireland, which opened in early August on 220 lush, wooded acres (90 hectares). With 100 rooms, "our approach is that of a small country hotel," says general manager Peter Bowling. Except that this one has dozens of private assistants who can arrange shark fishing for the adventurous. But if you just want to take a walk, that's fine too. They'll lend you a pair of Wellington boots to keep your feet dry and send the hotel's two Irish setters, Earl and Countess, with...

Ministers reacted too slowly when the disease was first detected and compounded that mistake by giving reassurances that quickly proved false. The lush British countryside was laced with gothic horrors as the carcasses of six and half million livestock, culled to eradicate the epidemic, burned on pyres. The total cost to the U.K. was estimated at ?8.5 billion...
...this is where the Taliban came in. Spotting him in the village mosque, they invited him to attend what can only be called an indoctrination course in Waziristan. There he was taught that suicide bombers go directly to heaven, where they're met by virgins and lush gardens. Farhad was also taught that any Muslim working with the Americans in Afghanistan was no longer a Muslim, but a "munafiq," a pretend Muslim. It was written in the Quran, Farhad was assured...
