McClatchy Newspapers

Chicago Tribune (MCT) - If it isn't the bright bougainvillea tumbling from the colonial balconies or the quiet shimmer of the Caribbean Sea, then maybe it's the impromptu dance parties in the town plazas, or the joyful din of guitars, bongos and maracas that drifts through the city with the evening ...

Detroit Free Press (MCT) - For something so ancient, the rock face looked as content as a man who's just eaten a big slice of peach pie. "Who made you?" I whispered. "Were you lonely when nobody came to visit for 400 years?"
No answer. Just a smile.
That is the fascination of Angkor, the ...

McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - Keep your eyes peeled on Frenchmen Street for "Uncle Lionel," who lives next door to the Spotted Cat. The extremely dapper 76-year-old stands out in a crowd. And he's more than a Faubourg Marigny legend. Lionel Batiste was born in Treme, the next neighborhood north.
"I ...

McClatchy Newspapers
11/24/2008, by John Bordsen
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - Stroll Bourbon Street morning, noon and especially night, and you're sure to see the unusual. But aside from one or two clubs and the occasional Dixieland parade, the music you'll hear is generic. The most famous street in the French Quarter is so geared to tourists ...

McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT) - Quick! Point out Kenya on a map. No, not Kentucky, Cancun, or Katmandu, but Kenya, ancestral home of Barack Hussein Obama Sr., father of the president-elect of the United States of America. More than likely you'll be hearing about Kenya a great deal in the ...

The Orange County Register (MCT) - I'm heading east on one of the most storied trains in America. The Sunset Limited, a name more than a century old.

It ain't pretty, but the rooms are large and clean, the bathroom fully stocked, and a bountiful breakfast buffet is included. Even better, the ...

What makes Fatima special? On arriving the visitor can not help but notice that the area and its inhabitants remain humble and simple. There is an immediate sense of calm, particularly when entering the shrine area. It is not the grand Basilica that draws the pilgrim to prayer, but rather the simple Capelinha, site of the actual apparitions. It is here that pilgrims drop to their knees in front of the statue where Mary, Our Mother, made her requests to the 3 shepherd children; pray, repent, amend and sacrifice. Her specific prayer of choice? The daily recitation of the Rosary. And her promise? World peace, the total conversion of Russia and the interior conversion of individual souls. Fatima offers hope to a tired world. It is the only Marian Shrine where a public miracle, “the dancing sun”, witnessed by thousands of onlookers, proved its authenticity and continues to offer pilgrims from every walk of life spiritual renewal.
