...trading continued on the stock exchanges and schools held classes; even the trains ran more or less on schedule. Indeed, for most of India's 600 million citizens, it apparently was business as usual. If anything, life in New Delhi seemed more orderly than ever: the typically mad swirl of traffic was restrained, and queues for buses were models of decorum...
Horns blaring raucously, swarms of cars and taxis swirl madly around the South Gate, an old entryway into the raffish, jostling metropolis of Seoul, South Korea. Throngs of Korean, American, European and Japanese businessmen pile into cabarets and assorted pleasure domes. Then, just before midnight, the pleasure seekers rush home to beat the midnight curfew, and the lights start winking out. A few miles away, villagers desert quiet country lanes for tile-or thatch-roofed cottages. And a few miles beyond that, perhaps an hour's drive from the teeming capital and its 6.5 million people, U.S. and South...
...This scarcely matters. What matters is the erotic poetry in motion that uncoils whenever Verdon and her sister in crime Velma Kelly (Chita Rivera) do their solos and duets.

For man, it is as hostile a place as any in the world...

He sports a closely trimmed mustache, graying hair and just the hint of a paunch on his 5-ft. 10-in., 195-lb. frame. He has a smooth, unscarred face despite his 18 warring years in the net. (The masks he has worn for the past 14 years have absorbed 30 direct hits.) And he has none of the swagger that might...
