...kicked off with a one-hour preshow--in this one, the 23 women thwarted in their quest to become Mrs. Michel reunited to offer their commentary and lay odds on which finalist would take home the championship ring. Michel, whose sincerity seemed as thin as his hair gel is thick, sent Trista Rehn, a dancer for the Miami Heat, packing, leaving only AMANDA MARSH, 23, a breast-enhanced, doe-eyed events planner from Chanute, Kan. Though cameras recorded Michel buying an engagement ring, the Harvard graduate told Amanda he would keep it in a safe place while they moved...
...least, Richter was easy to miss. Think the words "new German art," and you think "neo-Expressionism." Think that, and the heart sinks. Heftige malerei, the German critics used to call it, "heavyweight painting," and it was certainly crude enough for three drunken gnomes and a village woodcutter. Inch-thick paint (the stuff that used to mean "sincerity" in the 1980s, remember?) and sculptures mutilated from tree roots with chain saws. All this rhetoric, now so comic, had its equivalents in the States (think of Julian Schnabel and his pretensions), but Germany was its homeland, or Heimat, if the word...
...chess had 2,217 pieces, rather than 34. At midday even mad dogs take refuge, though not straw-hatted tourists on five-day whirlwind tours of Burma shuttling through their checklists of temples in air-conditioned comfort.

Summer is the time of flowers: thick bougainvillaea blooms in shockingly bright pink, jacarandas litter the paths with purple petals, and flame trees force starbursts of red against whitewashed temple walls. The air is thick with the scents of jasmine and the tiny yellow flowers of the ubiquitous neem trees. Seeing the 900-year-old temples from...
...onion tart with Stilton and aged balsamic vinegar ($9), for example, was a solid effort that just missed the mark. Combining the strong flavors of Stilton and balsamic with sweet onion and buttery pastry is a great idea. But the theme here appeared to be “thick,” with the pastry shell too soft and doughy and the red onions chopped too large to allow the dish to really come together. The mahi-mahi cakes with yucca and mojo de ajo ($8) were the biggest shame of the evening. Their strange culinary fusion appears...
...make adjustments and we just couldn’t do it,” said Grant, whose throw of 56.88 meters last week set a school record. “The most frustrating part of the situation was the fact that we could have been right in the thick of things with our recent performances. But that’s over now and at this point we have our sights set on performing well at Heps...
