There’s solid geographical diversity, and none are typical tourist sites. I’m very happy that neither the Eiffel Tower nor the Statue of Liberty made the final cut. Thankfully, the voters rejected clichés. The Great Wall is the only man-made structure visible from space, which is pretty sweet. The Taj Mahal was built to serve as the ultimate gift of love from a Mogul emperor in the memory of his favorite wife. Petra, carved out of stone, flourished as a center of trade for hundreds of years. The Incan village of Machu Picchu is thousands of feet up a mountainside. My biggest gripe is the slight of the Hagia Sophia, perhaps the quintessen- tial example of Turkey’s east-meets- west syndrome. I’m fuming over that. But otherwise, I can’t complain. I’ve always pondered the life of a travel agent. I’d be the snarkiest travel agent ever: “Oh, you want to go to Paris? So does the rest of upper-middle-class America!” There’s something exciting about planning to send people thousands of miles on their way. It’s the perfect job for those who love living vicariously. Besides, the typecasting would be immensely enjoyable. I’m not sure which is more amusing to me: Suggesting that the young couple head to Hawaii for their honeymoon or selling the aspiring businessman COMMENTARY on Davos, Switzerland, to see what the movers and shakers are up to.

NBA début: 6 points The Cubs are 44-43 after going their final nine games before the break without a homer — their longest such streak since going 10 in a row in mid-July 1988. Zambrano had been 4-0 at PNC Park, and he was 7-1 with a 3.05 in nine road starts this season, but one bad inning did him in. Nate McLouth walked, and Xavier Nady had a two-out single in the third ahead of Bay’s 13th Pierre Pierce homer, but only his second in Golden State Warriors 25 games, a drive into the center-field bullpen. NBA début: 21 points Bay, an All-Star game starter in Pittsburgh while hit- ting 35 home runs last sea- son, was 1-for-24 before homering for the first time since June 22 against the Angels. The slump began in early June and caused Bay’s batting average to tumble from .314 on June 1 to .250 before his home run.
