...White House touted an event at a park near Birmingham, Ala., last month as an important talk on conservation, but the President gave a flat, disjointed speech that devoted five minutes to the subject. He seemed most interested in getting to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, for a three-day weekend--his sixth visit in less than six months as President. It didn't help that his promise to fully finance the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act was subverted by reports that his budget calls for cuts in a host of other conservation programs...
...pitch beer. She does a dramatic star turn in Visible Secret, which debuted in Hong Kong two weeks ago. That film, about a girl with the ability to contact spirits and see ghosts, has the imprimatur of Ann Hui, one of Hong Kong's few art-house directors. Its three-day box office opening in Hong Kong set an all-time record, eclipsing Ring, Hideo Nakata's horror flick. Meanwhile, Joan Chen, former-leading-lady-turned-auteur with Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl, is courting her for a script to be shot in China, based on Yan Geling...
...baseball caps, slouching toward the horizontal in their chairs, some of them actually snoring, heads thrown back and mouths wide open, so that you see all the way to the tonsils - a classroom that looks like the waiting room at Dulles International when it's socked in by a three-day blizzard...
...entered from Nepal (by road) or from Golmud (road) and Chengdu (air). In addition, all visitors must be registered as part of an organized tour and take official guides almost anywhere outside Lhasa. A package is the simplest way to handle the bureaucracy, but far cheaper is a three-day trip bought in China or Nepal after which sightseers can go off on their own as long as they take government guides. Hiring one in Lhasa to Tsurphu costs from $50 per day. Without the Karmapa to draw the crowds, these days you'll likely be the only visitors...
...attendants and other visitors swallow herbal nutrition tablets, quaff detoxifiers and regularly flush their insides. The talk over laxative tea runs from the latest stock fluctuations to?I'm not joking?the day's excreta. The guest book includes testaments to changed lives and?I wish I were joking?photos of half-meter-long expunged intestinal parasites. In addition to a seven-day fast, the Spa offers three-day courses and, for the busy spirit, the single-day "liver flush fast." The resort is also a magnet for passing alternative health therapists touting everything from hypnotherapy to acupuncture. Ask around...
