Though winemaking began as early as 2200 B.C. in Greece, most Americans associate the country with retsina, a traditional, pine-resin-flavored wine. Now U.S. consumers are embracing a wider range of oinos. Sales of Greek brands were up 18% last year--and those going for the Olympics may hasten the trend. The wines are made from indigenous grapes unfamiliar to most Americans. Some to try: Moschofilero yields aromatic whites like Boutari's Moschofilero. Agiorgitiko is the grape in the herbaceous 14-18h Rose (the name refers to the number of hours the fresh grape juice remains in contact...
Each Tuesday and Friday afternoon, four girls, ages 7 to 14, settled in our pine-paneled living room for an hour. Ever observant and curious, I remained quiet but was eager to create something too. Sensing my interest, my mother encouraged me. Soon I was the littlest learner in those sessions. I eventually made some of my own clothing. I would draw the patterns on paper, cut the fabric according to the design and assemble the pieces on a sewing machine...
...change the world." A decade since the National Gallery of Australia's "Surrealism: Revolution by Night" reunited the Antipodeans with their contemporaries overseas, the Agapitos/Wilson Collection consolidates their place on the Surrealist world map.

In the first of three dance sequences, for example, Roshan puts on a display of body popping and moonwalking that banishes the possibility of a self-respecting Indian male lead ever again sashaying suggestively around a pine tree. Likewise, his love interest (Preity Zinta) is an ambitious newsreader unafraid (horror!) to date other men or even (the horror! The horror!) cut her hair short...
...been best known for its handicrafts, particularly the fine, handblown glassware from the factories in nearby Marinha Grande. The delicate glass, often richly colored, was a by-product of Portugal's maritime ambitions: 700 years ago, the monarchy needed ships and ordered the planting of 12,000 hectares of pine forest to provide timber and control the shifting coastal sands. Those two raw materials attracted glassmakers to the area in the 18th century; the region has been a centre for the industry ever since. Today Leiria produces 45,000 tons of glassware (worth €175 million), and exports three-quarters...
