...that just left them standing there, in a dithering hush, with nothing to ogle but my everlasting journey down the longest aisle the Lord has ever wrought upon his people (no offense to Him).By the time I’d passed the Negro section, I think the color of my cheeks had ebbed to a mere tomato. But by the time I squeezed into our usual pew at the front, my blood was frothing: couldn’t I just enjoy the service like all the others? The others, mind you, who had pounced over every inch of this...
...March 5.Kimberlee K. Bassford ’99—who wrote, produced, directed and co-edited the documentary—became fascinated by Mink after the former Hawaii Congresswoman’s death in 2002.

Primary colors take a backseat, and neutrals, Zen greens and black dominate the color palette in the suites, all of it magnified by those giant windows. You are trying not to call it elegant, because that's not supposed to happen in Vegas, but the Encore exudes elegance right down to the European antiques that decorate some of the lounge areas.
