...started practicing parkour, but they didn't really get what he was talking about until more recently, when he asked if they had seen the James Bond film Casino Royale. "Yes," they responded. "Do you remember the chase scene at the construction site?" "Yes." "Well, I'm doing stuff like that." "What...
...parkour encourages good habits. The sport is heavy on discipline and self-improvement. True traceurs don't smoke (because it would hurt their endurance) or run under the influence (because it would hurt their balance and agility). "The problem is that people see all these videos of high-level stuff, so they go home, jump off their roof and wonder why they blow out their knees," says Tyson Cecka, 20, a sophomore at the University of Washington who just spent a week in Los Angeles doing parkour for a sneaker commercial.

...reason to tread lightly.

The Democrats together outraised the G.O.P. by 50%. In what is likely to be the first $2 billion campaign, money may not be the most important thing...
...which is the best ever? That depends on how old your tastebuds are. Ladurée is the stuff that French childhood dreams are made of. Fruit flavors are fresh and clear. I wish I'd grown up having a raspberry, citron and buttery sea-salt caramel trio waiting for me after school. But the ones from Hermé's swish shop are mini macarons for grown-ups. Like an haute couture fashion house, Hermé rolls out a new collection every fall and spring. Sophisticated flavor combinations like green tea and chestnut bring simple pleasures to a new level...
