...Fenway Park, on the other hand, is like a landmark frozen in time. There is no sideshow—only the stadium, the game, and the crowd. Perhaps for that reason, the Red Sox are Boston’s golden ticket. Getting a hold of a pair is not easy. In the offseason, the team holds a lottery for the right to buy tickets at face value. Even though people all over New England sit in front of their computers hitting the refresh button, it is worth a shot to try your own luck. If that fails, you can always...
...Sarkozy, Foreign Affairs Ministry officials say, has repeatedly spoken by phone with his Syrian counterpart, President Bashar Assad, in recent weeks, requesting that Syria use all its influence with Tehran to free Afshar and Reiss.

Ensconced in a beautiful apartment, Julia and Paul eat, make love and eat some more. "French people eat French food every single day!" Julia enthuses...
...first time I went jogging in Tehran, I nearly hyperventilated after four blocks, despite wearing the gauziest of headscarves and a decidedly immodest pair of Nike Capri pants. The fabric covering my ears and neck stoked my body temperature unbearably, and the pleasurable strain of running gave way to acute discomfort. "How am I going to stay fit here?" I wailed to my Iranian girlfriends, experts in the dilemma of balancing exercise with Islamic modesty codes. They offered me a rich store of advice, from headscarves with ear slits to calibrating outdoor exercise with the seasons to where to find...
