...cultural cues from myriad psychedelic compass points: Ibiza, Goa, San Francisco. Hopping trains into the city from all over Japan, these teens and twentysomethings flock for the express purpose of flaunting some of the wackiest Mad Hatter outfits east of Fillmore West. They get gussied up in sidewalk dragging, patchwork skirts under military jackets, or blood red, cropped kimonos paired with platforms and body piercings. The kids tote tom-toms, shopping bags, vinyl purses shaped like lips. The kids don't know it, but many of their looks are '60s People's Park through a rave-culture hula hoop...

And the E.U. is far more committed to the United Nations and international development: European countries collectively spend three times...
...Ariel Sharon on election day - and that would reduce any new deal to no more than a chronicle of what might have been. Because while Barak has thus far failed to tempt Arafat to accept 95 percent of the West Bank and all of Gaza, as well as a patchwork of Jerusalem neighborhoods, Sharon has said that Oslo is null and void and that his idea of peace involves no further Israeli withdrawals from the territories Israel occupied...
