...theme suites upstairs are equally preposterous: gold-sprinkled carpets, Jacuzzis in the bedrooms, Egyptian murals in the Cleopatra suite, cherubim on the ceiling of the Michelangelo suite and, in the King Tut suite, lots of the sort of bric-a-brac a king likes to be buried with. Prices start at $250 a night for 1,200 sq. ft. and run to $10,000 for the 4,200-sq.-ft. Alexander the Great suite. But costs are incidental, since most of these luxury accommodations are reserved, on the house, for high rollers. "It has the most beautiful suites that have...
While debates over college curriculum get the most attention, professors generally can resist or subvert the most wrongheaded changes and students generally have mature enough judgment to sort out the arguments. Elementary- and secondary-school curriculums reach a far broader segment at a far more / impressionable age, and political expediency more often wins over intellectual honesty.

And you can't talk to me or to anybody my age in which you don't hear a sort of old fart's moan about the fact that it's much more difficult now for kids to learn the craft of acting. They don't have the opportunity. They don't get it in TV or films. I think it's important that actors do films, but I think they...
Idaho's bill will give her a chance to disclose just what sort of burdens she has in mind. It provides that abortions be banned except in cases involving a rape that is reported within seven days; incest, if the girl is under 18 and reports it; severe fetal deformity; and threat to the mother's health. By those standards, about 95% of the 1,650 abortions that were performed in the state in 1988 would now be illegal. Though women who have abortions would not be sent to jail, their doctors could be liable for a $10,000 civil...
