...Chicagoans stood up and yelled at him. No, it wasn't a riot, but the final curtain call at this month's world premiere of A View from the Bridge, William Bolcom's operatic version of Miller's 1955 play about love and death on the Brooklyn waterfront. The Lyric Opera of Chicago bet big on Bolcom, giving his American-style grand opera a production worthy of Aida, and the horse paid off: View packs the theatrical punch of a double boilermaker...

Unless politicians end the absurd subsidies that encourage development on shifting sands, Dean powerfully argues, America may face a future of beachless beach towns...
...country's key tourist destination, visited by more than half of all foreign vacationers. Over the past two years, 30 new hotels have opened, doubling capacity. The city holds one of the most potent symbols of the new--and old--South Africa: a 30-minute cruise away from its Waterfront lies Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent most of his 27 years of imprisonment. It is now a museum and national monument.
