Petersburg continually amazes me. Once a swamp, then an imperial capital, and now a showpiece of long-ago aristocratic opulence, St. Petersburg is Russia’s most accessible and tourist-worthy city. Its striking beauty today is all the more remarkable given that this place was devastated by a 900-day Nazi siege during World War II. As if turning the clock back to its glory days, the metropolis once again goes by its original name, and its... Rulers’ building spree. Petersburg was Russia’s capital from 1712 until 1918. The fabulously wealthy Romanov czars and czarinas were in power for all that time, and on a building spree. It started in the early 1700s, when Peter the Great , inspired by a trip to Amsterdam, laid out his city in a grid plan with canals. Palaces and fancy apartments line the surviving waterways and boulevards. The palette of robin’s-egg blue, petal pink and sunshine yellow is as pretty as a Fabergé egg. You can trace the city’s story through the architectural legacy of its great rulers and their favorite designers.

And every minute, gun shops make about 40 new requests for criminal background checks on people wanting weapons. On Black Friday, the rush accelerates to nearly two checks a second, testing the limits of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Much of the responsibility for preventing criminals and the mentally ill from buying guns is shouldered by about 500 men and women who run the system from inside the FBI's criminal justice center, a gray office building with concrete walls and... Granted a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the NICS, The Associated Press was able to see first-hand why 512 gun sales a day effectively beat the system last year. By federal law, NICS researchers must race against the clock: They have until the end of the third business day following an attempted firearm purchase to determine whether or not a buyer is eligible. After that, buyers can legally get their guns, whether or not the check was completed. This clock ran out more than 186,000 times last year. It's a particular problem on Black Friday, when so many background checks are done at once.
