...Easier Travel The Oresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö; the Channel Tunnel; high-speed rail links snaking out from France - all have done their bit to knit the Continent closer together than ever before. But perhaps above all it is the growth of budget airlines - stimulated by regulations that came into force in 1997, allowing an airline from one member state to operate a route in another - that has made easy travel around Europe available...
...When my father, who is also an orthopedist, was in his 30s, he kept patients in the hospital for periods that would be considered ridiculous today. Those clavicle fracture patients were kept in for a week, carpal tunnel surgery patients stayed for a few days, a bad back might get five or six days. None of these patients ever stay over even one night now; even some go home the same day, and the carpal tunnel patients are out the door in less than an hour. I lived through the change - patients and doctors both were pretty nervous as discharges...
...that the main reason for their ruling was to protect the interests of public safety. Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed in Paris when their driver, trying to escape the paparazzi who had followed them from the Ritz Hotel, crashed into a pillar in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.

Whether the biggest companies produce to capacity; whether hundreds of small local miners, without the sophisticated machinery or the credit lines of the big guys, can continue to tunnel ever deeper to follow the vein. Whether plucky independent owners like Money A. Yousuph?who hasn't pulled out any tanzanite since 2002, when he sold a 2.2-lb. chunk for $275,000 at a Las Vegas trade fair?get lucky. "I'm about to," he says confidently...
...sadly lacking in aesthetic. But no worries—the jocks don’t care about looks when it comes to their stadiums. What really matters for the soccer, lacrosse, and rugby teams (among others) is that inside, the bubble is all business. After braving the wind tunnel known as JFK Street, the bubble beckons with heat and hot bodies. Pushing through the revolving doors, your ears pop from the change in pressure and you find yourself in unseasonable warmth. The air in the bubble, kept between 56 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit, smells distinctly of plastic and sweat. Plus...
