...much about losing money as about gaining it, fret over rare events like plane crashes instead of common ones like car accidents. That research underpins Nudge's argument that as policymakers go about their jobs--whether regulating the mortgage industry or organizing food in school cafeterias--they should design programs that give people choices but also invisibly coax them away from bad ones. Putting healthful food at the front of a cafeteria line, for example, leads kids to take more of it, even with nothing to stop them from picking the chips and cookies farther down...

...pavilion (albeit one attended by people like Christina Ricci, spotted gazing into a shoe cabinet). On the other hand, that evening's show of Ferragamo's 2008 fall/winter collection was a stunning triumph.
