Even though Narciso Rodriguez lives and works in New York City, he finds much of his design inspiration on trips to Rio de Janeiro, where he goes to unwind. In fact, he started to go to Brazil so frequently?three times a year, at least?that he finally bought himself a beach house in Bahia, on the edge of the Atlantic rain forest. "At first I went to Rio, and then I started to branch out and go to places like Bahia," says Rodriguez. "Now when I go, I sketch a lot." He gets inspired watching the active crowds...
Prainha, a beach about 40 minutes outside of Rio, is sublime. It's a place to chill out and experience the beauty of Brazilian nature...
...France (the most famous hostage is former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, a dual Colombian-French citizen), has likely been brought to a halt by last weekend's events.

"We can save the world!" the graphic exclaims. In the Rio Grande Valley, now a booming trade center but once home to shabby migrant labor camps, Clinton is running ads featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the grandson of United Farm Workers icon Cesar Chavez. And the aging lion of the Democratic Party, U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, has been holding rallies on college...
