...during a bad recession? Well, I think she's exactly doing it. I think she's not being extravagant. She's the first First Lady I can remember who repeats clothing. She wears high and low.

...Michigan, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and John McCain of Arizona, its ranking Republican, to eliminate $1.75 billion that the committee added, over their objections, for seven more F-22s (the price includes only the hardware, not the R&D, to design the planes).

It's roomy, not too pricey, and has a great wine cellar and an uncomplicated menu. The end to my perfect day would be found at the Kaaitheatre, tel: (32-2) 201 5959, where I'd see an Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker ballet. (See pictures of Pope Benedict's fashion looks...
