Or more precisely, personal style as interpreted by the growing number of retailers rushing to supply this fast-growing $17 billion-a-year market. Vendors, including Pottery Barn, Pier 1, the Bombay Co., Delia's and Target, are creating new products, catalogs and, in some cases, chains of specialty stores designed to capitalize on the decorating dreams of tweens and teens.

The dead were later interred in a temporary cemetery nearby. National Guard soldiers soon took over and ordered every home to be blacked out at night. They shot at any light showing through the cracks. In our darkened, humid rooms, we huddled in dismay at the way our ancestral Japan had put a curse on all Japanese living in Hawaii.

...children took refuge under its graceful domes. Today the Jagmandir remains a retreat, if from nothing more threatening than the bustle of a sweltering Udaipur afternoon. A motorboat from the City Palace jetty ($3 a person for the round trip) will take you to the island's small pier, which is guarded by eight life-size marble elephants.

...Ressner tells us where to go in SANTA MONICA for BREAKFAST: The Broadway Deli, at Broadway and Third St., where De Niro and Pacino faced off in the movie Heat.
