...only interesting in that they're connected to American life. I don't cook. I don't know anything about food. I've never reviewed a restaurant. I think when I quit - about twenty years ago, before I took it up again - it was because it didn't seem like readers were getting that distinction. I'd get calls about, "Where's the third-best French restaurant in Chicago?" I don't have any idea, or even any credentials for deciding. I think my experience with people asking solemn questions about where the best this or that is shows...
...these cowardly and dishonorable attacks. We commiserate with the Indian people; this attack, like so many others perpetrated in India and elsewhere, was a horrible and reprehensible deed. Terrorism is not a legitimate political tactic, nor will it ever be. The fact that the terrorists responsible for the attacks seem to be affiliated with groups located in the frontier areas of Pakistan adds a regional significance to this attack. For more than six decades, India and Pakistan have glared at each other over a heavily fortified and partially undefined border. Despite the alleged Pakistani origins of this terrorist group...
...strangely likeable bad guy. He openly discusses trying to intentionally injure Harvard players during the game, and his dirty tactics increase as the Crimson cuts down the Bulldogs’ lead.

Anecdotal and empirical evidence seem to bear out Synovate's figures. Despite deep discounting and promotions that Denison describes as "hypercreative," sales have quite simply fallen off a cliff. Retailers are understandably coy about admitting to their own struggles, fearing that such revelations could endanger their credit lines and spook investors. A jeweler who prefers to remain anonymous says that top-end shops already weathered a drop-off in sales last Christmas and have been suffering throughout the year. "Bankers used to come in droves with their wives," says the jeweler. "There were lots of Americans and French...
...couple of bright lights shine among the sputtering fairy lights on British main streets. Young shoppers seem immune to the fears of their elders and are still flocking to stores such as Top Shop and H&M that offer high fashion at lowly prices. And the pound's weakness may yet boost tourism among foreign visitors hoping to snap up discounted goods at beneficial exchange rates. "The pound has declined 10% against the Euro and 28% against dollar compared to last year," says Elliott Frisby of the tourist authority Visit Britain. "There's never been a better time to holiday...
