1.   Why does the media present such a negative view of this splendid city?

2.   Budapest is a splendid city set on the Danube, so I like to start my day walking along the river embankment to Margaret Island.

3.   Krakow is a splendid city, both ancient and youthful, high-spirited these days with post-Cold War civic ardor.

4.   They and their families will eat, sleep, attend GOP convention functions and take in the sights of this splendid city.

5.   What is intended as homage to this splendid city and the gifted artisans who built it turns out to be a kind of well-meaning vandalism.
