Cooperation with foreign-intelligence and law-enforcement authorities is key; since Sept 11, 2001, a total of 2,974 terror suspects have been detained in 98 countries. Americans have learned to use local assets, like the Filipino agents who disguise themselves as ice-cream vendors or beauticians, to track down terrorists. "The feeling here," says a senior French investigator, "is that the Americans are doing an excellent job in police and intelligence terms." Not everything goes according to plan. High-tech listening devices are of no use if nobody sends an electronic message. "The bad guys," says a Western diplomat...
Remember the awkwardness of the ice cream bash and the frantic search for Tercentenary Theatre? It seems these confident go-getters actually enjoyed freshman week. While others stressed about their Spanish placement test, the savvy marshals were working the room, or rather, the yard. But they didn’t stop with freshman week. As Monique says, “this meeting and greeting session lasted for the better part of the year.” It helps to have a semi-notorious entryway too. Pat proudly recalls that “the fifth-floor Thayer boys” were...
...Americans, tea drinking is a quintessentially British pastime. There’s something stuffy about tea and its accouterments—high-backed chairs, Devonshire cream, porcelain saucers and ostentatious pinkie fingers.

Round flatbread was roughly torn and piled high on a low table. Fish fresh from the lake, noodles and pickled cabbage?all smothered in sour cream?were served up as we sat around the low table on well-worn sheepskins. And for the main course, I was treated to the very fattiest (and tastiest) hunks of mutton. With a growing number of visitors, Kyrgyzstan's warm smiles and piled plates could prove to be valuable natural...
...wearer's body thanks to multiple layers of shading. And yet, strikingly, she sometimes pays no attention to such traditional techniques as foreshortening or horizon lines. More strangely, rather than the usual black and white she has chosen a bizarre color scheme that evokes mint chocolate chip ice cream. Like suburbia itself, this peculiar mix of the natural with the oddly artificial takes some getting used...
