...myths in the culture, but unless you happen to have studied Islamic manuscripts, you might be wondering what the characters in the paintings are actually doing. But if you guessed that, in this idealized world, the princes easily vanquish ugly demons in flower-strewn gardens, or that magical beasts roam emerald green fields as gilded clouds roll through indigo skies, you would probably be right...
Grocery shopping and tots usually don't mix. Putting the little ones in the & shopping cart means less room for groceries, and letting them roam free in the aisles has its own hazards. But at least two food chains have come up with a savvy solution: pint-size shopping carts for children to push -- and fill -- right along with Mom or Dad.

Animal- rights activists and Old West buffs decry any fettering of the mustangs' ability to roam the plains. Ranchers object that free-running herds pose threats to pastures and water that cattle need. "Most people feel there should be some place in the U.S. for wild horses because they're so important in our past," says Boyles. "But we recognize the range is only going to support so many. The two basic questions are, How many should...
