...that runs through that shady gorge joins another further downstream, and many more before it descends from the mountains near the city of Rishikesh in Northern India. It is the holy river Ganges, which flows more than a thousand miles south to Calcutta, where the boys are from. A visitor would recognize no similarity between the impossibly quiet life of the mountain landscape and the bustle of a city that has become synonymous for unimaginable squalor and degradation. Its reputation transcends differences among cultures and continents but serves as a worst-case scenario for the human condition. For the rest...
...clumsy treasure-hunting way, from the volcanic ash that had shrouded and preserved them since the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Elsewhere in Italy, the ruins of Roman public life could easily be seen-temples, stadia, places of assembly. But the archaeology of Naples gave the visitor a sense of how the ancients lived when at home-when they came off their plinths, shed their cuirasses hérdïques and settled down with their wine cups and mild painted pornography, no longer behaving like noble Romans.

Epidemics of short-sheeting coexist with robotics and PASCAL. And, like campers everywhere, eleven-year-old Evan Katzman of Homestead, Fla., is quick to give a visitor the classic rating of camp food. Says he: "It's the pits...
There were no photographers on hand when Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko stepped onto the tarmac at Warsaw's Okecie Airport last week. The official Polish press agency reported only that "high party officials" had been there to greet the distinguished visitor. The low-key arrival of one of the Kremlin's most powerful leaders, a man widely regarded as a pragmatist rather than a hard-lining ideologue, was seen as a reassuring sign by many Poles. Said one Warsaw journalist: "It means that the Soviets are prepared to accept what we are doing as long...
