...actors’ adroit work is bolstered by a well-calculated set design: no prop, from TVs to teacups, is without purpose. The repetitive techno-remix score follows the same path, deliberately building tension—at least, when Madonna isn’t singing. However, the costumes are the production’s piece de resistance; to imagine the maids without them is to imagine Roxanne without her red dress...
Leggy young women are sashaying down the catwalk, their slim hips twitching to an Oriental techno beat. The fashion show sponsored by the "Road to Paradise" charity organization has turned out to be one of the big events of the Cairo social season, with hundreds of well-to-do Egyptians packed into a hotel ballroom resplendent with views of the River Nile, bouquets of red roses and platters of smoked salmon - and, of course, the beautiful models, including Miss Egypt 2006.

"If Congress guts Net neutrality," says Moby, "independent sites would be choked off, and the Internet will become a private toll road...
...been so much more violent that it really belonged in another country altogether. By the time Katrina hit, most law-enforcement types in the city had come to an unpleasant conclusion: no amount of arrests would stanch the murder rate. Somewhere along the way, despite the best efforts of techno-cop Chief Richard Pennington in the 1990s, despite tens of thousands of arrests for drug and quality-of-life crimes, violence had become normalized...
