The Piccadilly Circus performance scheduled for today at the Lancaster County Convention Center has been canceled. Cuinn Griffin, promotional director of the Sarasota, Fla.-based circus, said too few tickets had been sold for the event.
LONDON - In a bunker beneath London's bustling Piccadilly Circus, guards monitoring a grid of closed- circuit televisions spot something unusual. A suspicious package has been left behind amid the crush of tourists.
IRENE, South Africa - The bars are stocked across America, and the pubs are ready in England. A 70 1/2 -foot billboard of Clint Dempsey stands near Penn Station in Manhattan, and there's a large poster of Landon Donovan in a store along Piccadilly Circus. American soccer has never been more popular in the United States or its players more well-known across the world. And on Saturday comes the first competitive match between the U.S. and England since the great American upset at the 1950 World Cup.
It's like Piccadilly Circus! Everybody comes to Uganda and everybody comes to IDI," said Phillipa Easterbrook, who left London's Kings College run IDI's research department. "We just decided we weren't going to take it anymore," said Shevin Jacob, 32, from Chicago. He and others asked IDI's director, Alex Coutinho, to visit the nearby ward. Coutinho did, leaving his plush office to see what had become of 4-A. By April, after the quiet but steady and forceful complaints from some doctors, IDI brass settled on a "4-A project." An appeal to donors to funnel some funds to the ward was instituted. 4-A has been adopted by IDI. The Global Fund and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) are primary funders of its programs. [...] just a few yards from the ultra-modern IDI, wit...
At 9 a.m. on March 14, 1957 -- exactly 50 years ago -- I started the first great adventure of my life. With Maung Gyi, a 22-year-old Burmese graduate of the University of Rangoon riding with me, I headed out of Singapore on the longest overland motor trip ever taken. It was about 20,000 miles from Singapore until we arrived in London's Piccadilly Circus at 10:25 a.m. on Aug. 10, 1957 - just two days before my 18th birthday. That night, as was true on every Saturday night, we were the second last guest on the World Service of the BBC radio program, "In Town Tonight." We were followed by the great American actress Lillian Gish. This culminated a 4-year project of mine, which started when I was 13, years before as a 10th-grader at Wooster High School. For my English class I wrote an essay,...
LONDON -- Police in London's bustling nightclub and theater district on Friday defused a bomb that could have killed hundreds, after an ambulance crew spotted smoke coming from a Mercedes filled with a lethal mix of gasoline, propane and nails, authorities said. The bomb near Piccadilly Circus was powerful enough to have caused "significant injury or loss of life" -- possibly killing hundreds, British anti-terror police chief Peter Clarke said.
LONDON - It was a minor call to the emergency services: A man in a nightclub hit his head and needed medical attention. But it set in motion a chain of events that saved potentially hundreds of lives. London's Tiger Tiger nightclub in the busy Haymarket square near Piccadilly Circus was crawling with people on one of the busiest clubbing nights in the capital.
HAVANA - Red-and-blue, double-decker buses have begun bouncing down the Cuban capital's potholed streets on sightseeing tours inspired by those in locales from London to Mexico City. But instead of Piccadilly Circus or the Eiffel Tower, this ride lets visitors cruise past crumbling buildings frozen in the 1950s and gawk at billboards featuring Fidel Castro and the likeness of Ernesto "Che" Guevara that looms over Revolution Plaza. Stops include the Havana Hilton - which Castro seized and renamed the Havana Libre, or "Free Havana" hotel, when he took power in 1959 - and Ernest Hemingway's favorite watering hole, El Floridita.
We saw her on the Sunday. She was in the orthopaedic ward, a room with four beds, in which two old women had definitely flipped out, one banging her mug and shouting for help, the other making a gargling sound reminiscent of Australian magpies. The third was having her entire family to visit and a scene like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was going on. My aunt, who had sent us an SOS for grapes and brandy, was in a bed by the door. It was about as peaceful as Piccadilly Circus in the rush hour. We delivered the brandy as if to someone stuck on a mountainside. She rolled her eyes at us, "I don't think I'm going to get much peace in here! On the last day of June, she went home, to be looked after by a "care package" team of people who will come in, provide food, give her any nursing care she...
Tony Blankley is worried. The normally cheerful editorial page editor of The Washington Times and "The McLaughlin Group" panelist is worried about Eurabia, about the possibility that radical Islamists will take over Europe. "If current birthrates continue," he writes in "The West's Last Chance," "if current EU policies continue, if current multicultural sensibilities continue to deny Western institutions any protection and special respect, if current unthinking tolerance of the intolerant continues, if current thinking in Europe (and to a substantial extent in America) doesn't change, Western values and lifestyles will be supplanted in Europe by the values of radical Islam. Mr. Blankley is not kidding. He starts the book with a scenario set in 2007 and 2008. Islamist demonstrators in L...
