...explosion was clearly timed to mow down as many foreigners as possible. Kuta is the nightlife capital of Bali, and Jalan Legian is its main drag. Rows of bars, their street fronts open to Bali's warm night air, form a bustling pub crawl route for legions of backpackers, surfers and Australian tourists. And around 11pm, when the bomb exploded, would have been the street's peak hour. Hundreds of revelers and street vendors shilling Balinese handicrafts fill the avenue at night. Sari Club, says a local, was one of the more exclusive: it only admitted Westerners; locals weren...
...look hard to see a rebellion brewing. Just as the wobbling economy of the past year made conspicuous consumption a little less conspicuous, it also gave parents an excuse to do what they have wanted to do anyway: say no to the $140 sneakers, fire the gardener, have junior mow the lawn.

Her Peruvian-born husband seals pools and outdoor decks for a living, and likes coming home to mow the lawn with their three-year-old son trailing behind. When he he had been missing for several days, Fanny had been worried enough to file a missing person's report with the Corona police, suggesting they check his favorite hangouts, like the Uoko Japanese restaurant in nearby Tustin...
...amidst a growing tide of criticism from moderate, suburban voters (who worry about the quality of their children?s drinking water) and tree-huggers alike, the Bush White House faces a tough balancing act: Reassure voters that this administration is not out to mow down the country?s green spaces just to please big business while simultaneously assuring big business that Bush knows exactly how important they...
