...Williamsburg: Worried that your kids think you're getting a bit, well, old? Hop the L train to Brooklyn. Stroll through the concrete maze of Williamsburg's industrial chic neighborhoods and take in the native culture, a bizarre mix of second-generation immigrants and would-be artists/DJ's/depressives who just couldn't stomach the gentrification of the East Village (they were bringing in supermarkets...
...some visitors may feel they're missing out on the real New Delhi. Those who fancy some authentic hustle and bustle need look no further than the crushingly congested Chandni Chowk area. Even though the metro will open here first, it's unlikely to provide much relief to the maze of hawkers and shopkeepers, donkeys and camels, trucks and bicycle rickshaws, selling everything from myrrh to liquid mercury to Mickey Mouse dolls. Only hardened Delhi hands can manage much more than a few hours of this kind of chaos. But these days, escape is no longer an Indian odyssey away...
...those who have never played it, GTA3 (as its fans affectionately call it) sounds like just another escapist shoot-'em-up, a virtual urban war game for suburban armchair delinquents.

You turn to the tab and continue the story until it leads to another tab. Often you choose between multiple tabs, as at the very beginning when the main...
...finding al-Qaeda men have been compromised by leaks from local police and intelligence services. And--as happened earlier this month in an operation at the Shemshahtoi camp outside Peshawar--even if the FBI and their local friends get into a camp, suspects can easily vanish among the maze of adobe huts, which teem with thousands of Afghans who hate the police. In a similar raid on the Jalousai camp, 12 miles from Peshawar, however, the feds were luckier, picking up four Afghans who were al-Qaeda suspects, plus a trove of sat phones and computer diskettes...
