...Henry James' novella The Beast in the Jungle. Certain that some great misfortune was about to befall him, he failed to marry the woman he loved (lest she share his fate), or to do much of anything, only to realize too late that the great misfortune fate had in store for him was to throw away his life and opportunities because of his excessive caution and fear of the future...

One is a leather pouch that holds the ashes of Sean Sellers, the only person executed for a crime committed as a 16-year-old since the death penalty was reinstated in the U.S. in 1976.

Yamada Heiando's sales have grown 20-30% annually since...

Cornwel-Smith rightly condemns plans to demolish old Bangkok neighborhoods to create "Paris-style open vistas" to accommodate both tourists and convenience-store chains. Very Thai? Hardly. But however tourist-oriented Thailand has become, Cornwel-Smith's exhaustive research suggests that perhaps foreigners don't know the country as well as they assume. Despite its freewheeling reputation, Thailand surpasses even Japan in its adherence to stifling social hierarchies?note the national obsession with uniforms...
