...crowd would cheer and break into the Polish song Sto Lat (May He Live a Hundred Years). Manila March 10, 1986 The men wore loose-fitting barong tagalogs; many of the women, designer dresses. The formality was appropriate for a presidential inauguration - even one called at short notice. Clad in a simple yellow dress, Corazon (Cory) Aquino, 53, could hardly have imagined this moment three months ago, when her improbable quest for the Philippine presidency began. Her voice was calm and steady as she recited the presidential oath, her hand resting on a leather-bound Bible. "I am taking power...
...mission of Benstead and his white-clad cuisine team to put it in front of them. For today's lunch, the "livin' innies"-as he calls the resident troops who use the mess-will hoe into offerings like beef stroganoff, BBQ pork chops, chicken ? la king, Swiss roll and pavlova. Steak's "an old favorite," and there's a potato option at every meal. But the modern soldier is at ease with terms like parmigiana, and unfazed in the face of quiche.

Such stereotyping isn't fair to most of the ambitious young women who flock to Washington each year (20,000 interns arrive every summer, counting the boys). But the visiting vixen's midriff-baring, miniskirted image rings true enough to have prompted a neologism--SKINTERNS--as well as efforts to make young women more presentable in Capitol Hill's still starchy environment. One intern coordinator marks...
...breaks for nongambling development, the competitive threat of slots in neighboring states and the 2003 opening of the first new casino in 13 years finally kick-started the city. Borgata, with its scantily clad cocktail waitresses and $150 dinners, raised the ante for the industry. "It's kind of like when Steve Wynn opened the Mirage," says chef Flay, referring to Vegas' first megacasino, which opened in 1989. After Wynn made a volcano, everyone built over...
