...march on Washington that gays staged Sunday on the National Mall drew something like 200,000 people - that's a good guess based on conversations with many of the organizers and local authorities, although estimates of Mall crowds are notoriously unreliable. But one number you can take to the bank: the average age of those backstage who wore walkie-talkie headsets and staff badges, the men (and a few women) who were behind much of the organizing effort, wasn't over 30. And that, by far, was the oddest thing about the march: Why would a generation wired to their...
...Furthering the Asian avant-garde is probably not what ordinary Singaporeans have in mind when they purchase tickets for the city-state's 4-D lottery, drawn three times a week at the Paradiz Centre mall. But it was lottery money, channeled through the Singapore Totalisator Board, that was used in the STPI's establishment in 2002.

...large shopping mall that opened in Drogheda four years ago at the height of Ireland's economic boom, Aaron Hodgins' menswear store is completely empty. The 34-year-old manager recently laid off two staff members and is worried he may lose his own job soon if sales don't pick up. He'll be voting no for the second time on Oct. 2.

None of the other repeaters - Paul Blart: Mall Cop in January, Madea Goes to Jail in February and, over the big summer season, Night at the Museum 2, The Hangover, Transformers 2 and Final Destination 4 - are likely to earn a slot on the newly expanded, 10-title list of Oscar nominations for Best Picture. Nor did any of them except The Hangover earn money-quote lines from the critical establishment. But they underline the importance...
Although today Harvard Square looks like an outdoor version of a Jersey mall (just replace the mafia housewives with a horde of slow-walking tourists), it wasn’t always this way—and most Cantabrigians don’t need a book to tell them that. But the arrival of “Harvard Square: An Illustrated History Since 1950”, by Mo Lotman, has afforded long-term residents a unique opportunity to revisit—and scrutinize—the gentrification they’ve experienced over their lifetimes. “I was definitely...
