...abound. For instance, the city has granted exactly one after-hours license—to a diner that does not serve alcohol past 1 a.m.—and shutters its subway system not long after midnight. It seems unlikely that Boston will relax all of its restrictive rules overnight. But getting rid of the restrictions on nightclubs would be a good start...
...eastern Baghdad. Just two years ago, when the things were more normal, Shuwetij or other doctors working night shifts would pass many evenings snoozing or watching television as nothing happened.

(Independent hikers can ascend to the summit for free but won't be let indoors at the top unless it's a real emergency.) This weekend's theme was global climate change, with...
...When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that 'Googe' has a better ring to it," Google's Webmaster and official doodler Dennis Hwang wrote on a company blog in response to the blogosphere's blather. "None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you're feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry...
