Striped in stucco to match the exterior colors of nearby buildings, the proposed bridge would start at the Sackler's Early Chinese art gallery, from the mammoth window overlooking Broadway, and join the Fogg on the second floor. According to plans, the 18-foot-wide and 150-foot-long connector would house two galleries and a lounge...

In Hanoi, which shows surprisingly few signs of the U.S. bombing, water buffalo pull carts down boulevards lined with tamarind trees. There are few automobiles; as elsewhere in Asia, the bicycle is ubiquitous...
