...differences between these two groups, which I never even knew about growing up, have been politicized." In late April, Soares' home was burned down by mobs, as was his mother's vegetable stall. Today, he lives in a camp for 2,825 internally displaced refugees near Dili's waterfront, sharing a small tent and one bed with six others who must sleep in shifts. His mother's source of income destroyed, he can no longer afford university. "My dreams have died," Soares says. "We have no jobs, no education, no homes." The former law student admits to knowing people...
...next morning we head for an apartment that Kim keeps for his family, at least, that is, according a report in South Korea's Chosun Ilbo. It's in an exclusive waterfront development, but save for a sunflower image painted on its tile wall, "his" place looks identical to those around it. We ring the doorbell, but no one shows. A security guard gives us a dirty look, so we buzz off. Our options dwindling, we decide to call off our search. Perhaps we should have followed the lead of Nippon Television's Norihisa Kabaya, whom we had run into...
...course, couture frocks don't have much impact these days, since they cost the same as a waterfront condo in Miami and their influence on lesser-priced lines has waned.

Plans are afoot for a massive waterfront redevelopment, including offices, residences and hotels.Much more interesting, and important, is Boston’s cultural development. What has always been a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city is now poised to fully embrace the contemporary.—Staff Writer Alexander B. Fabry can be reached at fabry@fas.harvard.edu
Merve Yesilada, 22, who is working on a soon-to-open gallery and design store, Haaz, with interiors by Sami Hayek (brother of Hollywood's Salma) was having breakfast at the laid-back Assk café, right on the waterfront, with her friend Lerna Tutunciyan, 29, who works as a production assistant. Talk turned to head scarves, a particularly thorny issue given Turkish history. (While the traditional male Islamic headgear, the fez, was banned by law in 1925, the head scarf had simply fallen out of use.) Yesilada, who loves to mix Marc Jacobs and Gucci with TopShop pieces, thinks that...
