...family, whose arrival six years after his three siblings' is remembered as a shock and a miracle. When Mitt was 7, George took over a failing car company called American Motors and introduced a radical design concept in the era of soaring tail fins and acres of chrome: something he called the "compact car," a sedan built on a smaller frame to be cheaper...
...might have thought that travel publishers and style professionals would be thunderous in their denouncement of such conformity, but they are its ideologues. Design Hotels-a group whose 142 member properties probably corner the world market in white furniture and puzzling chrome ornaments-compiles the raving apologia of academics and designers in its own, biannual journal (sample: "Hotels of the avant-garde are rapidly becoming the starting points for experiences of reality that allow orientation in a world that is both falling apart and coming together"). Thames & Hudson publishes the Hip Hotels series, an anthology of vacuity, as well...

For $50 an hour, Jaime Sumbane with his Panama hat and Dona Flor cigar will take you on a tour of the city. Driving through...
...With its matte and glossy black finish and hints of chrome and brushed aluminum, the CU500 may well be LG's most attractive model yet. Its look and high-tech innards definitely suggest that it's geared towards a fashionable male audience. I liked how easy the CU500 was to use. It has not just a colorful and responsive user interface, but buttons contoured just enough to dodge one of RAZR's ill effects - having to look down to dial. Easy hand dialing is a good thing, although the CU500 lacks the one thing that is even better: hands-free...
