...Valley some 50 km south of Baden-Baden. Harald Wohlfahrt runs the opulent three-star Schwarzwaldstube restaurant, which sports regional oak furniture and baroque brass chandeliers hanging from an ornately carved ceiling, in the Traube Tonbach hotel. Wohlfahrt's cuisine is inspired by the French: many of his dishes boast variations of famous Gallic creations like foie gras, confits and fruit compotes. When you've tried his fried fillet of red mullet with melon chutney and Thai curry sauce, or goose liver with Perigord truffles in puff pastry, you'll be hooked. tel: (49-7442) 4920; www.traube-tonbach.de Famous...
...departments without using Harvard’s reporting structure, and keeping Faculty as distant from Allston planning as possible—suggests that he views Harvard less like an institution of higher learning and more like a Fortune 500 company (or perhaps a cabinet-level department). Summers might boast that his methods cut through red tape; indeed, he compared Harvard to a Ford factory in explaining to classmates at my freshman barbecue why the matter of a living wage was for administrators alone to debate. But academic inquiry requires a tenure and governance system that involves Faculty in decision-making...

The musical theater can boast of a few, a very few leading men with the gift of delight: I?d want Kevin Kline on Broadway each year, and Martin Short in any musical comedy. (Short could play both main roles in The Producers, perhaps simultaneously.) But no one exudes the musk and majesty, the showbiz...
...overwhelmed by parents who announce on the first day of school that their child is going to be the smartest in the class and on the second day that he is already bored. Veteran teachers have learned to come back with data in hand to show parents who boast that their child scored in the 99th percentile on some aptitude test that 40 other students in the class did just as well...
...church that has suffered so many setbacks in recent years, it's hard to argue with such success. Southern dioceses like Charlotte not only boast some of the highest numbers of priestly ordinations in the U.S.; they're also a magnet for new clergy from the North. The current generation of U.S. Catholic seminarians, weaned on the strict dogma of Pope John Paul II, is more conservative than its predecessors who came of age in the 1960s and '70s in the wake of Vatican II. Many, like the new parochial vicar at St. Mark, the Rev. Timothy Reid...
