Elegant warlords, icy brunettes and a yearning for democracy.
BEIRUT--You could argue that, in a contest to choose the most civilized citizens of the world, it would be a travesty not to choose Beirutis. Multi-domiciled (New York, London, Paris, Beirut), automatically fluent in three languages (English, Arabic, French) and the literature thereof, exquisitely turned out, hospitable and generous by instinct, they conduct their lives in a physical setting so glamorous it rivals Istanbul.

 Camp initiative gives frequent subjects chance to frame images
Apr. 10, 2007- A group of professional photographers has launched a project to help young residents of Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon release stress and learn communication through the art of photography.
