Rugged rural Wyoming and steamy French Polynesia may seem worlds apart, but for the owners of luxury hotel group Aman Resorts, both locales share the same key qualities: charisma, tranquillity and unspoiled terrain. So that's how the luxury hotel group better known for its isolated tropical retreats - aman means "peace" in Sanskrit - came to Jackson Hole,[an error occurred while processing this directive] its only U.S. property. Building the 40-suite Amangani hotel was a test of endurance, as it took 10 years to acquire the plot, but for the group's founder, Indonesian Adrian Zecha, it was love...
Ford does indeed get people's attention. Selected one of PEOPLE magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2001, he has a charisma some Tennesseans say they haven't seen since Bill Clinton. Tennessee AFL-CIO Labor Council president Jerry Lee, who got his start in politics working for the Democrat in the 1960 presidential election, goes even further back: "Harold Ford Jr. is the most exciting candidate I've seen since John F.

But Mann apparently didn't see what Greer had: the high forehead, full lips and amoral aura that gave her a drop-dead-with-a-smile-on-your-face sexual charisma. The director let this budding femme fatale languish at the edge of the frame, while the not-so-hot Hughes and Frances Langford took center-screen...
...could hold his own with Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. Roosevelt not only remade America, but he also charmed the pants off everybody while he did it. And just short of a century after he left the White House, in 1909, the collective memory of his strength and intellect and charisma still lingers. How many times over the years since have Americans settled their affections on some thoughtful, vigorous man who reminded them a bit of Roosevelt? What was Ernest Hemingway if not a later edition of Teddy, without the burden of office but still equipped with T.R.'s literate machismo...
