Reasons to Move There: An unusually diverse racial mix, a first-rate cultural life (recent visitors: Wynton Marsalis, the Royal Philharmonic), and a rock-solid economy (tobacco, livestock, seven Fortune 500 companies) all wrapped up in streetscapes borrowed from Norman Rockwell...
...last evening of his life, as he dined in Sydney, Australia, with his father Kelland and stepmother Susan at the restaurant Flavour of India, Michael Hutchence did not appear to be the sort of alienated rock personality whose despair would overtake him. So spirited was he, in fact, that at one point during dinner he sprang from his chair and pressed a kiss on the lips of the restaurant's enthralled assistant manager.

That was evident when a report in the journal Science pooh-poohing NASA?s claims over the supposedly fossilized Martian meteor was elbowed aside in the media by Friday's edition of Nature. The latter, gathering evidence from the Pathfinder mission, said Mars was once warm, moist ? and more likely to have harbored some form...
