...caught napping in a patch of sunlight; in another, seven hostages are dining in a kitchen, a kettle on the stove, a yellow shirt and underwear drying in the window. But Hill also aimed his camera in earnest, particularly on one occasion when he was able to reach the roof of the building in which he and his fellow hostages were being held, and photographed the neighborhood. "I hoped to take pictures that investigators could use in the future to pinpoint our location," he said...
Wait, there's more. All nine buildings will sit amid 40 acres of grass and trees, parkland to be hauled piece by piece into the city and up onto the roof of a six-story, 13-block-long building. Inside that vast, quasi-subterranean space will be 13 acres of TV studios, underground parking for thousands of cars, and an enormous shopping mall.

"We kept it there so that people would remember what it was like five years ago," explains Ru Furong, director of Longzhao's garment factory. "We used it to educate the young...
...told his employees. All others were soon replaced by signs twice their size. The guy who once had Frank Sinatra pinch his cheeks for a commercial and who earlier this year had helicopters shoot videotape of him while he stood on a 1.5-m-wide catwalk on the roof of his 50-story hotel for a new TV ad is just getting going when it comes to promotion. His giant signature is not only on the top of the building and the clock radios in every room but also underneath the sheets on the mattresses. The man is even branding...
