...railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every day as the Midnight Sun Express, stopping at Denali in mid-journey. Travelers sip champagne and goggle at moose and caribou while reflecting that a really high- tech society would reinvent the railroad, as an art form if necessary. Tourists can stay outside the park at the comfortable Crow's Nest Cabins on Sugar Loaf Mountain, overlooking Horseshoe Lake ($65 a night...
...Homer is busy at the Ritz Bar, cadging drinks and watching Tommy, a fast-talking Lothario, flirt with the girls. (Tommy: "When I booze I'm not gonna sip on a drink. I wanna drink and get high, That's what drinks are for. ... I don't live that regular life, you know my poached eggs and Ovaltine.

While Homer tries to change his bad luck in a poker game, and Yvonne, abandoned by her husband, goes to a girlfriend's place...
Between events at World Youth Day in Sydney, presided over by Pope Benedict XVI, many of the Roman Catholic pilgrims shop for souvenirs, call home on their cell phones or sip cappuccinos at outdoor cafes.

Or the crooked-toothed smile of that 20-something-pierced-lip chica on the Metro. Or the sickly-sweet way your mouth feels after a sip of horchata. It’s forgetting, for an instant, where you are and what you’re supposed to be doing and just letting it all slip and smear and swirl around...
...Planet Green's most promoted--and most vapid--shows is Grenier's Alter Eco, in which the HBO star and several fashion-plate friends bring eco-consciousness to the deprived world of upscale Los Angelenos. They visit organic restaurants and sip biodynamic cabernet sauvignons. They build a home compost bin for a chef from Spago and work on a "green" mansion large enough to dry-dock an aircraft carrier. And they cap off each episode by sitting down to cocktails or dinner and telling one another how awesome they are. ("Why are you such a mensch?" Grenier asks...
