...Where to Buy A few blocks from the National Constitution Center, you'll find good shopping in the Old City, which the neighborhood's chamber of commerce has cheesily (if accurately) branded "hipstoric." This is where Benjamin Franklin used to live - his house was torn down long ago, but many 18th century townhomes survive. The area's mostly 19th century factories and warehouses have been transformed into cafés, galleries and shops such as Minima (www.minima.us), where the trove of gorgeous furniture includes Cappellini's must-have lacquered Uni cabinets and an elegant, eco-friendly credenza made from bamboo...
...your property taxes rising while the value of your house falls? Join the multitudes of Americans who are in the same predicament. In Atlanta, home values have tumbled over the past year by as much as 12%, but an Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership study of high-foreclosure areas found that the owners of those properties would have had to pay an extra $70 million in taxes because of overvalued but official appraisals.

But military might would be useless against the threat that looms within its borders. Israel's population of 7.1 million is today divided into 5.4 million Jews and 1.6 million Arabs. But if you include Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank, they may already have...
...Despite the increasingly anxious calls from abroad for a halt to the fighting, the war has acquired its own momentum - and civilian casualties are rising in a death toll now close to 700. Red Cross workers, who after days of trying finally gained access to the badly hit Zeitoun neighborhood on Thursday, say they discovered "four small children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own. In all, there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses." An Israeli army position was only 87 yards (80 m) away...
