Despite an outdoor audience of thousands, the nubile girls grinding on the balcony stopped dancing and sat beside their stripper poles. The bearded bikers, arrayed in rows below with their motorcycles, revved their engines in approval. That stilted parade known as the presidential campaign had marched into a High Plains bacchanal of shiny hogs, leather chaps and skanky tattoos--and the people seemed to like it. "As you may know, not long ago, a couple hundred thousand Berliners made a lot of noise for my opponent," Senator John McCain told the crowd on Aug. 4 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...
...just colleges that have hit back at beer pongers. Belmar, N.J., outlawed outdoor beer pong in 2005 after the city council passed an ordinance declaring that it exposed neighbors to "foul language, rowdy and disorderly behavior."

This summer, though, Hair may have its stars in alignment at last. A definitive version of the groundbreaking show has just started a monthlong run in New York City's outdoor Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

...lunch. A typical day in the country--except when the hale sexagenarian happens to be Pope John Paul II, taking a rare and precious break from papal responsibilities. His doctor is known to have repeatedly urged him to get more exercise, and he has long had an enthusiasm for outdoor activity. The outing, with his secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, some friends and ever present bodyguards, apparently took place last year during his summer vacation in an isolated area of the central Apennines in the Abruzzi region, 75 miles east of Rome. No one is saying just who in the group took...
