...hosts well over 100 sculptures, including a collection of works from Henry Moore, whose reclining bronze figures seem to be enjoying the lovely views. Among the other sculptors represented are Marta Pan, Carl Milles and Alicia Penalba. At over 70,000 square meters, the park is big enough to tire you out. But fear not, this is Japan: hot baths await your aching feet. See www.hakone-oam.or.jp...

Additionally, in 2008 the Supreme Court voted to reduce the amount Exxon Mobil had to pay for an oil spill from $2.5 billion to $500 million, covering the cost...
...romantic comedies so often make their leading ladies look like that Nick Nolte mug shot? (In Leathernecks, Sigel cast Renee Zellweger in a similarly unflattering light.) Adams is 35, and all we see are her crow's feet. Which at least gives you something to count when you tire of checking your watch...
