1.VALENTINO, fashion designer: I would admire the sunset from the neoclassical restaurant Casina Valadier on Pincio hill before going for a drink in nearby Piazza del Popolo, at the elegant Hotel de Russie. Then, after a dinner of Roman fare and seasonal produce at Al Moro I would stroll through the historical pageant of Piazza del Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Via Giulia. I can't get enough of the Baroque side of the city...
...just the latest makers of luxury goods to target India as the next hot growth market, joining Herm?s, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Piaget, Tiffany, Moschino and others. Last October, Chanel launched its brand by organizing an exhibition and haute couture extravaganza in New Delhi's tony Imperial Hotel with models flown in from Paris.

That's why business lobbyists broke into applause and embraced in the Dirksen office building as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12 to 6 to send its bill to the Senate floor, with four of the committee's 10 Republicans joining all its Democrats in favor. So doubtful...
...This spring-break mecca is still pocked by the effects of Hurricane Wilma, the Category 4 that hit last October. Hotel towers stand dark, their windows blown out. The President, his senior staff and the rotating pool of reporters that stays close to him bunked at the Le Blanc, but the majority of the press was 20 miles away at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, where reporters paid $360 a night for rooms that included a whirlpool with a family-size bottle of bubble bath. The property is so massive that I was in ?Edifico 23,? part...
