...teenager. I'm not fat (my body mass index is normal), but I'd still like to drop a few pounds. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to look like Posh Spice - who is rumored to nibble on frozen grapes as a treat - but I don't want to look like Oprah either...

...China where freedom of opportunity has created an overwhelming pressure to succeed. "You know, this is the People's Republic of China but we are not a republic." Mao says, "A republic is where somebody doesn't need to pay for food if they are hungry. Where we treat each other like brothers even if we aren't from the same family. Where we respect each other.

We've heard a lot about how much revenue they could bring to the city, and also how they will make people more aware of the East River, an urban waterway they more often treat as drive-over country. All of which I hope happens. But at the end of the day you can't evaluate a work of art in terms of its economic impact or its moral utility...
