...swaying the voting public? There's a fine line between tongue-in-cheek and just plain pathetic. Final odds: 100-1 Switzerland: six4one If We All Give a Little. Céline Dion won the 1988 Eurovision for the Alpine nation, even though she's French-Canadian, starting a trend of Swiss outsourcing. Last year's Swiss representatives Vanilla Ninja were all from Estonia, and the country's 2006 multinational entry six4one has just one native performer. Luckily, the pop group won't be required to sing Switzerland's national anthem. Final odds: 28-1 Serbia and Montenegro No entry...
...years, as well as one-time payments of up to $1,000 for existing residents who stayed put. The sweeteners brought in new residents, who revitalized big apartment complexes like Battery Park City and pushed developers to convert old office buildings in the financial district into apartments, a trend already under way before 9/11. More than 36,000 people now live in lower Manhattan, up 58% from 2000. Those young, affluent newcomers have attracted posh new stores like Sephora and Hermčs and new restaurants like Bobby Van's Steakhouse, lighting up streets that once went dark...

From kayaking to hockey to wall climbing, mothers are imitating their kids...
Classes like this one represent a growing trend in travel to destinations including Italy, France and Mexico. Within Mexico, the state of Oaxaca is the culinary standout. Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines--fried grasshoppers). Cabrera began offering lessons after getting repeated requests for recipes from travelers who ate in her family's restaurant, La Olla. But what began seven years ago as an occasional class has turned into a semiweekly event often sold...
...editors: Re: “A Tarnished Opal,” editorial, Apr. 27. The plagiarism that recently occurred is not unexpected—I am sure that plagiarism happens from time to time on many campuses. While that is a disturbing trend, my attention was caught by the fact that the book publisher would offer such a high amount for only two books. I find it terribly disturbing that a 17-year-old college student can receive a $500,000 contract, and plagiarize so boldly. Meanwhile, as a hard-working student, I have put myself through school...
