...First came the H1 complex, a series of Modernist glass buildings in the shade of venerable trees. Inhabited by ?ber-hip boutiques and restaurants, H1 inaugurated Thonglor's style revolution with a tenant list that includes one of the Thai capital's hottest tables, To Die For, tel: (66-2) 381 4714. Owned by fashion mogul Bhanu Inkawat and film director Nida Sudasna, this opulent restaurant wins as many raves for its contemporary dishes, like the vodka and caviar pasta, as it does for its posh take on home cooking (try the delectable cottage pie). Another of H1's star...

She can handle the warhorses of the repertoire--she just recorded Brahms' Symphony No. 1 with the London Philharmonic--but she also champions living American composers like Philip Glass.

...temptation to light up is always there. Having a Bomb gives one bragging rights. Pakistan, for example, is intensely proud of its nuclear arsenal: displayed in every large city is a fiber-glass model of the Chagi Hills, where the 1998 tests took place. Every Pakistani remembers seeing TV films of the hills' shuddering at the jolt from underground, like a camel shaking off a layer of dust. Russia, which has pledged to update its nuclear arsenal, knows that its bombs are what maintain its pretensions to be a great power. Neither Britain nor France will give up its nuclear...
