...gratitude is flowing. The crowds greeting the Queen in her recent tours of the country are big and kind: 20,000 in Falmouth, 30,000 in Newcastle (including a streaker with "Rude Britannia" painted on his pale buttocks). Partly this is sympathy for a woman who has just lost her sister, Princess Margaret, who died at age 71 in February, and mother, who died Easter weekend at 101. Perhaps, after the throngs that lined London's streets for the Queen Mother's funeral, it also represents a surprised rediscovery that the royal family-not just charismatic black sheep Diana...

A massive pillar of rock riddled with meditation cells and capped with pale green and gold temples, the 737-m-high Popa Daung Kalat, or Popa Crest, shelters 37 of Burma's most powerful nats...
Glamour doesn’t do the greatest job of giving skin-tone specific beauty advice. I mean, it does if your skin tone is somewhere between Swedish pale pink and J-Lo bronze. I suppose if I want to learn which dark-people lipsticks or blushes to wear with a particular outfit, I could refer to the make-up artists who are dishing out advice in the dark-people magazines. And there are “special” make-up lines made especially for black people with invitingly dark shades that start somewhere around caramel and only...
