...that sense, many of the exhibits are exquisitely rendered lessons in national unity. On another, purely aesthetic level, they are a sensation. Yongzheng's reign, from 1723 to 1735, represents one of the highest watermarks of Chinese imperial taste. The exhibition includes snuff bottles, superb vases, translucent agate tableware, elegant copperware and one-off items like a black lacquer hand warmer adorned with a painted landscape, or a copper stand for holding imperial crowns. But most gratifying of all is the fact that these treasures are finally being shared, and not being fought over in a civil...
...Mary was more than that. To us, she was a sister, a friend, a confidante and a superb creative partner. She was also vulnerable, flawed and, like us, struggling to overcome fear and self-doubt. But she never shied away from standing up for what she believed...

Although there are only four lifts, these access some dramatic chutes and superb powder fields with virtually no competition for your fresh tracks. It's there that the beautiful Tara River runs through Europe's longest canyon, and there are 20 peaks over 6,500 ft. (2,000 m), overlooking 18 gorgeous lakes, so it is not surprising that discussions are under way to set up a heli-skiing operation...
...Kristina, a musical based on the four Emigrants novels by Wilhelm Moberg. Spanning two continents and the Atlantic in between, the three-hour epic has all the makings of a thrilling stage experience: noble peasants, dying children, powerful voices, the dream of a new land. Most of all, a superb score. No wonder that, at the end, cheers and a standing ovation greeted Kristina's creators: two spangled Swedes, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus - once, and always, the guys from ABBA...
