...summer place is nestled between an MIT frat, the Asgard pub and a Chinese restaurant called the Pu Pu Hot Pot. The most noticeable feature of the abandoned lot next door is a gigantic graffiti of Richard Nixon’s face, the eyes adorned with skulls and the shoulder marked with the word “OBEY...
...houses in North Philadelphia, the asphalt school yard at Wright Elementary is a blur of arriving children, many in uniforms getting a bit too tight and too short as the year draws to a close. Glasses propped on top of her head, hand on a child's shoulder, Wright's motherly principal, Anita Duke, rolls a rickety cart with a microphone and speaker into the yard for the morning announcements and starts another day.

...livery of the Castle Guard, the ceremonial troops at Prague Castle. "The green uniforms and plastic ties on a rubber band didn't give the country a good image," says Ladislav Spacek, Havel's former spokesman.

As it happens, two partial right arms turned up in the discarded mummy wrappings. The better preserved of the two is a woman's arm that may be in a flexed position; the hand on the arm is clasped. If attached to the young woman's body, the arm would be bent across her chest and the hand could have held a scepter--an Egyptian sign of kingly power. "This was clearly...
