It looked like a glamorous early start on Halloween, but actually it was a Hollywood affair complete with a red carpet and a who's-who invitation list. And, it was all devoted to a sold-out, one-night-only, world-premiere benefit screening of "Milk," the hotly anticipated new film about the life, times and tragic death of controversial San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk .

MEXICO CITY — Seventeen years after putting its city and its chef on the world culinary map with its playfully elevated street food, Pujol , Mexico’s most celebrated restaurant, will serve the final meal in its building on Calle Francisco Petrarca sometime in the coming weeks. But 11 blocks away, in a bungalow hidden behind a wooden fence and tall trees in the Polanco neighborhood, the chef Enrique Olvera and his team have spent the last two years quietly building a new Pujol, which they expect to open soon afterward. The long gestation can be attributed in part to Mr. Olvera’s obsessive attention to detail.

The United States is increasing its military presence in the Philippines, gaining access to four more sites and strengthening the Southeast Asian nation’s role as a key strategic partner for Washington in the event of a conflict with China over Taiwan. The agreement, announced on Thursday, allows Washington to station military equipment and build facilities in nine locations across the Philippines, marking the first time in 30 years that the United States will have such a large military presence in the country. The deal comes as Washington has tried to reaffirm its influence in the region amid a broader effort to counter Chinese aggression, reinforcing partnerships with strategic allies and bolstering relations that have soured in recent years. Fears have also grown over a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the island democracy that China claims as its territory. Among the five treaty allies that the United States has in Asia, the Philippines and Japan are the most geographically … [Read more...] about U.S. to Boost Military Role in the Philippines in Push to Counter China
