...best shopping streets are the main artery, Rue d'Alsace-Lorraine, the pedestrian streets St. Rome/des Changes, Pomme and Filatiers, and the chic Rue Croix-Baragnon. Great artisan pottery at Nature et Sens, Rue Pharaon (tel. +33 (0) 5 61 14 12 37). Violette & Pastel, Rue St. Pantaléon (tel. +33 (0) 5 61 22 14 22), has candies, liqueurs and perfumes made from violets, the city's emblem...

Reyes' harrowing account of how he tracked his victim, felled her and then subdued her again after she tried to escape half naked has forced an entire city to relive that time--and to rue the miscarriage of justice that may have been as horrible as the crime that caused...
...Still, party officials have reason to rue their high-profile headquarters in the heart of Taipei, in full view each morning of Chen as he goes to work at his presidential offices. "I think the President may consider our building an eyesore," says KMT spokesman Tsai Cheng-yuan. Some members say publicly that they should return all questionable assets to the government, rather than face the humiliation of being forced to divest. Coming clean would, says KMT parliamentarian Wu Den-yi, "relieve the party of a historical burden." Even if the cost is its showcase headquarters, the KMT may find...
