...sublime San Domenico in Imola, near Bologna, are seeking locations. Not all agree that New York is the only place to be. Michael Hutchings explains why he and the Roux brothers chose Santa Barbara. "This is a cosmopolitan town and is a getaway for the very rich. People demand a high quality of life, and so it's perfect for a first-quality restaurant." Lower overhead and less competition are also factors. Andre Surmain, the founder of New York's Lutece but now known for his Relais a Mougins in the south of France, opened a branch last winter...
...opportunity -- one that enhances the prospects for reducing the number of nuclear weapons," Reagan told the group, stirring prospects of an eventual "grand compromise" that would trade off defense for offense.

Last year, though, it began a new strategy of boosting output and flooding the market. A price war ensued, as Yamani knew it would...

Last week he denounced President Botha's confrontational "Boer War diplomacy" and warned of a "time when the government's actions (will) demand that I revise my & position." This week Botha will address an important federal congress of his ruling National Party in Durban. Speaking in the same city last year, Botha gravely disappointed Western governments by failing to include in his address a list of widely anticipated racial reforms. This year Botha was simply expected to hang tough, and so there...
