But as an in- stitution, it’s very complicated, and you never re- ally can 100 percent know the other person.” Lotto is a man of privilege: white and male and raised in wealth. But his father dies early, and his mother sells the house for a tiny pink one on the beach: trauma, destabilization. He falls in with a not-so-good crowd and is sent off to boarding school. By college, at Vassar, he is a tall, attrac- tive—aside from poor skin—aspiring actor who is extraordinarily successful with women. He sees the light in every lady, is conspicuously promis- cuous. (“A girl screws around like Lotto and she’s, like, diseased. Untouchable,” a friend of his wryly notes. “But a guy can stick it a million places and everyone just thinks he’s doing what boys do.”) And then he meets Mathilde, and he is commit- ted.

  • S Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel
    California’s Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel by Lee Foster Travel in the United States has become decidedly upscale, for some. Observers of travel have watched as this measurable trend developed. For a small, but identifiable segment of travelers, price is no object. What is of concern is the highest quality in accommodations, dining, and experience. This is the traveler whom every destination now seeks to woo. For the majority of travelers, reports on this privileged minority amount to armchair or fantasy travel, an act of vicarious gratification. Nowhere in the U.S. is the phenomenon of upscale travel better expressed than in Beverly Hills , CA . This writer on one occasion immersed himself in this elite travel environment. It is fitting that here the movie industry, the makers of illusion, also finds its home. Beverly Hills passed its 90th birthday in 2004 and headed confidently towards 100. The old gal isn’t allowing herself to show her age, of course, because plenty of cosmetic surgery is ongoing in the hotels, shops, and restaurants. “We see ourselves as an oasis where the traveler can find the highest quality goods, the best hotels and restaurants, and the ultimate in service,” said the Beverly Hills ‘ mayor. LODGINGS: STARTING AT RAFFLES L’ERMITAGE Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills may well be the choicest lodging in America . Such objective observers as AAA and Mobil have awarded it their coveted five star/diamond ratings, which are tough to get and rarely coincide in one property. L’Ermitage enjoys plenty of competition in Beverly Hills from the Beverly Hills Hotel, Regent Beverly Wilshire, and Beverly Hilton.

    SECTION ONE: Background: Supply & Sources of Bear Products Historical Perspective to the Bear Trade 16 Bear Farming 28 Profiles of Chinese bear farms 47 Current Restrictions on International Trade: CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) 59 World Society for the Protection of Animals The Bear Bile Business 15 Historical Perspective to the Bear Trade Victor Watkins Traditonal Chinese Medicine and the growth of the modern trade in bear products The use of herbs to cure illness can be traced back over 4,000 years in China. The earliest medicinal literature (Shen-nong Ben Cao) dates back to 482 BC and records 365 types of medicinal issues. One of the most famous Chinese herbals, (Ben Cao Gang Mu) was written by Li Shi-zhen during the Ming dynasty (1590). This work lists 1,892 types of herbs used as medicine. In the above mentioned literature, animal ingredients make up less than 10% of the medicinal ingredients, and the majority of those animal parts are insects. There is very little use of mammal body parts listed in these early Chinese traditional medicines1. The use of bear parts in medicines in China dates back over 3,000 years. Medicinal uses for bear gall bladder first appeared in writing in the seventh century A.D. in the Materia Medica of Medicinal Properties2. The use of bear bile has since spread to other Asian countries such as Korea and Japan where it has been adopted for use in local traditional medicines. Plant and animal products which are selected for use in Chinese medicine are classified according to their properties.
