...standing in the crowd. I think of the inconvenience of serving on a jury last summer and the hours we spent poring over a case of criminal assault. It's hard work summoning up your best judgment on behalf of the law, and to do the work with that slice-of-St.-Paul bunch of moms and retirees and folks from Cubicleville was a revelation.

Even some of the fast-food chains are getting in on the act. Kids who order Little Caesars from their school cafeteria are now buying a slimmed-down slice with part-skim mozzarella and fewer rounds of pepperoni.

A stroll along its verdant paths and past the university's museums will bring you to Rodeløkka, a slice of small-town Norway plunked into the heart of the city. The neighborhood's narrow, hilly streets are lined with some of Oslo's best samples of Norwegian village architecture - clapboard cottages in brick reds, royal blues and daffodil yellows, with windowboxes and white picket fences. A few more streets over...
