...foyer of Jane Fonda's loft apartment is a warm pink oval-softly lit, windowless and strangely familiar. A few paces in, the room narrows to a bright seam of a doorway that resembles the more unabashed works of Georgia O'Keeffe. "The entryway is a womb, and the door is a vagina," says Fonda in her startling vibrato. "I had it designed so that you're sort of delivered into the loft. Don't you love...
...Jewish roots. The fair is one of the region's oldest festivals, celebrating a spring livestock market dating back to 1847, and has evolved into a colorful megabash on the city's outskirts. The fun begins when, at the stroke of midnight, the fair's ceremonial gateway is lit up by thousands of lightbulbs. Lining about 15 streets are more than 1,000 casetas (brightly colored canvas tents), in which flamenco fanatics can dance, eat and drink the night away. Be sure to try pescaito (fried fish) and glasses of dry fino sherry, or the slightly lighter manzanilla. Some...

...search for healing began the night after the shootings. People gathered at a gymnasium, forming circles around circles. The families of the dead sat in the inner circle, surrounded by a semicircle of drummers who were in turn surrounded by the rest of the community. Tribal elders lit sage, sweet grass and tobacco, and let them burn until the gym was full of smoke. Then the drummers started tapping out the traditional song of healing. Crying and wailing ensued. No one in the tribe knew how one of their own could have strayed so far from the traditional path...
