...them, with an archaeologist's fidelity. For the Broadway version Waters is listed as "consultant"; he claims he was much too bossy ever to collaborate. He also knew that the shoe would have "new" songs; the pastiche conceit embraced not only the ransacking of tacky 50s-60s modes of decor, coiffure and couture but the rephrasing of less-than-classic Brill Building song styles...
...Hakone Yumoto, where you transfer to a tram that zigs and zags into the mountains. Since its founding in 1878, the Fujiya Hotel fujiyahotel.co.jp in the hamlet of Miyanoshita has attracted foreign visitors, among them General Douglas MacArthur and John Lennon. Sepia-tinted Western charm--afternoon tea, French cuisine, decor like your Great Aunt Minnie's--infuses the famed institution. Across the street, the Naraya Inn (81-460-2-2411) offers more of a Japanese flavor. For centuries it has played host to traveling nobles who have sought out its airy tatami rooms with shoji screens opening on a traditional...
Entering the flashing, bleeping world of the Barbican Art Gallery's Game On show is like stepping into an arcade circa 1975.

Waksal's eclectic posse combined science and celebrity with stock-market speculation. It was an intoxicating lifestyle that the ImClone chief apparently savored...
...Piedmont and 737 and 757 production at Boeing. Even now, as chairman and CEO of Continental, he tastes the food served on the planes (yes, even in coach) and dines on fast food at the airports (look for him at the Mexican joints). He monitors everything from airport decor (blue terrazzo wins out over carpet) to the number of public-address announcements. Pasta warmers and $330 wine-bottle openers don't rate even a question from Bethune, but he can wax enthusiastic over bigger luggage bins and more elbow room in the cabin.
