...capability and iPod docking stations (if you need new music, download it from the hotel's iTunes library, stored on an iMac in the lobby). For relaxation, there are five spa treatment rooms, a yoga studio with 360-degree views of the city, a residents' lounge and bar, and a rooftop pool overlooked by diners at The Edge, the Kemang Icon's international restaurant. Suites start at $180 a night, but this drops to around $120 per night for stays of a week...
...those thought experiments about desert-island cannibalism. Which of my loves will I be forced to eat?

She said Ferguson, a Georgetown alum, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her toward him, introducing himself as a member of Congress. He pulled out his congressional ID card, she said, and pointed to his pin. 'That's special,' she said sarcastically. "'Yes, it is special,'" he replied earnestly, she said...
