...unstated promise is that soldiers are sent to war only as a last resort, to defend their country from harm. But while the threat posed by Saddam was chief among the stated justifications, George W. Bush's war was always about more than the weapons that have yet to be found. The son of the President who had trouble with the Vision Thing offered a vision so broad it bent the horizon: this was nothing less than a "battle for the future of the Muslim world," an expression of American idealism in all its arrogant generosity. Once again, we thought...
People predisposed to diabetes would be much better off eating more natural, less-processed foods and should take drugs only as a last resort. I'm referring not just to fast foods but also to the majority of highly processed food staples found on grocery-store shelves. In today's mass-marketed brands there is a great deal of hidden sugar--not to mention unnecessary preservatives and saturated fat--that most people are blind to. Consumers are taken in by glossy packaging and big ad campaigns and buy foods without reading the ingredients. They will be delighted by how good...
Park City is an old mining town 27 miles east of Salt Lake City that resurrected its soul through skiing. Two of its three resorts were host to Olympic events. Stein Eriksen Lodge (800-453-1302), located on Deer Valley's slopes, and Hotel Park City (435-940-5000) offer some of the town's most luxurious digs. After skiing, guests at Stein's place (the former Norwegian Olympian still mingles) can visit the day spa or soak in private hot tubs. The woodwork of the year-old Hotel Park City is reminiscent of that found in the old national...
...Olympics made Snowbasin a star, expanding a small mom-and-pop resort into 2,950 acres of sublime terrain and views. As host to the downhill and super-G events, the resort built three day lodges and replaced most of its lifts. These aren't your typical boot-scuffing lodges. Chandeliers and leather-backed chairs may make you feel at home. At 8,700 ft., the John Paul Lodge offers A bird's-eye view of the downhill--where racers reach 80 m.p.h. If you want to imitate Bode Miller's hairy medal-winning run, take the Olympic tram...
...best-kept secret of Pulau Langkawi, an island off the northwest coast of Malaysia, isn't its stunning sunsets. It's the four kampong (village) houses on the western edge of the island, perched next to a field of reeds, and known collectively as the Bon Ton Resort, tel: (60-4) 955 6787. Australian owner Narelle McMurtrie purchased the antique Malay villas from islanders, dismantled them, then reassembled them on her 1.5-hectare compound. You can choose to stay in the century-old Black Coral, 60-year-old Yellow Orchid (formerly the home of a fisherman), the painstakingly restored...
