...impressionist and post-impressionist art from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Tickets were expensive and lines were long, but Berliners flocked to the exhibit. Everyone seems to love 19th-century French painting. It’s instantly recognizable, aesthetically unobjectionable, and easily digestible for the casual viewer. Likewise, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) put on a show of Edward Hopper paintings this summer. Hopper is one of the most beloved American painters—probably for his austere but tender portraits of archetypical American life—and his work lends itself...
This is no casual fling. Either in a private or philanthropic capacity, or as part of doing business, American CEOs are now assisting Rwanda on energy, water, a railroad from Tanzania and IT. Scott Ford, the CEO of Alltel, is advising the Minister of Infrastructure, Google is donating software while eBay decided to build an ecolodge.

Amid a smart-casual setting of stone, wood and glass, you'll find the expansive main dining room, an upstairs bar and a terrace for "outdoor dining" (read: smoking). But the focus, quite rightly, is on the food, not decor. An unstructured menu - Zuma dispenses with the usual distinctions between starters and mains - will...
...Like Posen, Francisco Costa, the Brazilian designer who several years ago took over for Calvin Klein when he retired, has mastered a sleek and chic kind of casual style. As far as continuing the sensibility of Klein, it works. To the simple sportswear shapes, Costa brings a refined sense of color and an appreciation for innovative fabrics. He opened the show with a passage of skinny, high-waisted pants in shades of chalk, pale pink and putty and then punctuated a crisp, natural palette with two drop-dead simple organza T-shirt dresses in grass green and - what else...
