...city's sponsorship of the Gay Games last summer gave him a taste of the reflected glory that comes from hosting a complex and successful array of international sporting events. Those games "moved without any controversy - and that says a lot," the mayor noted. If Daley does succeed in his Olympics bid, he may well still be in charge when it's time to greet the athletes nine years from...
...line Democratic candidates for President in 2008--people like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards--are a decidedly un-Western crowd. They tend to be coastal, urban, legislative. They tend to talk too formally--and too much about too little. They tiptoe and kowtow when confronted by the gothic array of Democratic interest groups.

I am embarking on a journey through the world of business etiquette, a journalistic Eliza Doolittle looking for a little polishing. As a result, I have awakened...
...mission this evening is to teach me table manners for business meals. I sit at a place setting with an array of cutlery. The fish fork, I learn, is the one with ornate tines--smaller than the main-course fork--meant to debone fish. Here comes another list of rules for me to memorize: When you excuse yourself from the table midmeal, refold your napkin and put it on your chair. When you leave the table for good, put your napkin, neatly folded, to the right of your plate. And if you don't like the food, eat it anyway...
