...earth along a narrow concrete passageway to a Nazi-era bunker. During World War II, Berlin's huddled masses sheltered here as Allied bombs flattened their city. Until Nov. 2, you're more likely to bump into Hitler, as played by a Russian actor, begging for forgiveness; or a snake handler with a boa constrictor that's meant to represent the serpent in Eden. This may be an unlikely setting for an art show, particularly one that's supposed to celebrate heaven, but don't tell that to Torsten R?mer. "The tension between a place so burdened with history...

Last week the Qatari TV network, al-Jazeera, aired a videotape of bin Laden walking with his lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahiri in rugged hills that look like those in much of the border area. Neither the video nor an accompanying audiotape of what the CIA says...

For example, an ad campaign in the U.S. for Reebok Classics pictured typical figures of Americana, like a little boy with a baseball bat, clad in throwback simple sneakers. In India, Reebok replaced the lad with a grizzled, bearded snake charmer in a turban?with a flute and a woven, cobra-filled basket?and pristine white sneakers.
