...Start to finish, Jersey Boys is fast, fun and mostly engaging. It's awfully well cast-I liked all four faux-Seasons. As Frankie, Young hasn't the sharp angles of Valli's face, but a soft oval sweetness. His falsetto is impressive, except in a narrow stripe (three- or four-note range) where he's very thin. Granted, his voice isn't double-tracked, as Valli's often was on records, and I caught Young on a night when he'd already done a matinee. On the pristinely produced Jersey Boys original cast CD (with helpful liner notes...
...almost any town in Spain, and you'll see road signs pointing to restaurants and hotels. But if you arrive in Sant Celoni, just north of Barcelona, seeking one of the finest restaurants in the country, you'll be out of luck. The place is tucked away on a narrow street off the main square; most of the townsfolk are familiar with it but may be scant help if your Spanish is so lame that you confuse the words nombre and número...
...Chinese looking at images of older aspects of China?the narrow hutongs, children dressed like soldiers?often worry that they make the country appear backward.

But as he peers up at the prematurely-hung Christmas decorations glittering above the immaculate, well-tended streets, Youness Ouzaanik is aware of just how different this postcard scene looks from the desolate landscapes of Blois's vast housing projects - where he lives, along with nearly...
...Internet governance is not the summit's only issue. For many poor countries the biggest question is how to help narrow the ?digital gap? between rich countries and poor ones. According to the International Telecommunication Union, the 15 percent of the world population that lives in the industrialized world enjoy five times better access to fixed-line and mobile phone services, nine times better access to Internet services, and own 13 times more personal computers than the 85 percent living in poor and middle-ranking countries. The Geneva meeting set a goal of bringing half the world's population online...
