...says Shah, authorities have been "passive," favoring only "defensive measures" such as checkpoints - the layers of concrete blocks and razor wire at the entrance of each of Pakistan's major cities and athwart all their major thoroughfares, where a handful of policemen peek into vehicles and perfunctorily inspect trunks before waving them through. At best, these checkpoints are a visible deterrent designed to reassure the public. But for months now, they have for the most part failed to keep out gunmen, suicide bombers and vehicles laden with explosives. (See pictures of the aftermath of an October 2009 bombing...
Want to pay $3,400 for a sterling-silver razor, stand and brush? Believe it or not, there's actually a store for you. The Art of Shaving has 36 outlets around the country, and is set to expand.

Alternatively, if Gillette dumps Woods and misses out on his triumphant comeback, it's doubtful that consumers will start switching razor brands (unless, perhaps, he endorses Bic out of spite). Yet Procter & Gamble, Gillette's parent company, is no fan of controversy. "P&G is known as being a traditional...
...chairs and the bleached wood remind you that this is ground zero for the new Nordic cuisine, in which a traditional focus on pickling, shellfish, a lot of rye and root vegetables is combined with the full panoply of a modern professional kitchen's tricks. Here, a single raw razor clam comes encased in a magical tube of parsley gelee, and a gorgeous piece of pork belly gets the sous-vide treatment (vacuum sealed and cooked at extremely low temperatures), before being crunched up beneath a crust of locally harvested potatoes...
