...Ambassade and the Connaught don't come cheap. But being on a budget doesn't disqualify you from participating in London's renewed enthusiasm for French food. The much lauded Wild Honey in Mayfair, www.wildhoneyrestaurant.co.uk, has raised the bar for informal French dining with its strictly seasonal menu and dash of haute-cuisine craftsmanship. Mains start at around $30. Bord'eaux, www.bord-eaux.com, a great new all-day bistro on Park Lane specializing in the cuisine of southwest France, is cheaper still, with main courses from around...
...swimming teammates half her age to push the U.S. to a silver behind the Netherlands. "Age is really just a number," she said. "Water doesn't really know what age you are." After this, her 50m freestyle, a week from now, should really be just a splash and dash. And by then, the whole world will know if Phelps is still on course to make Olympic history...
...that triangle - not human rights or the 100 meter dash - that is at the core of Bush's business in Beijing this weekend. But even if the Chinese may be sidling up to the idea of one last sanctions push, it's not at all clear that Bush's fellow sports nut, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, is.

For one thing, another big spike in crude...
...Dashiell, I must stress, is a good international traveler. But a nine-month-old boy appreciates a little diversion, and during my flight from Bangkok to Beijing this month to cover the Olympics, those helping hands came from several rows of Thais sitting nearby. When Dash dropped his yellow duckie, a powerfully built young man in Row 57 obligingly returned it. Another man played peekaboo, his forearms bulging as his hands uncovered his grinning face. Then, a female traveler who - how shall I put this? - was built rather more solidly than the average Thai maiden, gave my son a friendly...
...woman who winked at Dash turned out to be Wandee Kameaim, an Athens bronze medalist in the 53-kg class and anchor of this year's Olympic squad. Even though I live in Thailand and am covering the Olympics, I admit I had to Google her name to identify her as the woman on the plane. (I also had to Google another Thai weightlifter, but that was because I was not entirely sure of the spelling of Prapawadee Charoenrattanatharakul, whose surname is also written Jaroenrattanatarakoon). The history of Thai women's weightlifting is short but impressive. The kingdom's first...
