...long as we can find loopholes and make exceptions, maybe it's not so bad that we make Presidents try to fit a mold. In a democratic republic, there must be some community of feeling between the leaders and the led. Warriors have traditionally found it in combat, despite class differences. But the mild norms of politics are a functional equivalent in peace and in war. Our first President set the standard. The Rules of Civility, the etiquette primer that George Washington copied as a teenager, began with this admonition: "Every action done in company ought to be done with...
...luxury business, a simple silhouette is not necessarily a natural fit. Houses like Gucci and Dior--where the signature is often spelled out in over-the-top details on snakeskin handbags or horse-bit-studded shoes and lavish, Vegas-style embroidery--appear to be allergic to sobriety. Gucci designer Frida Giannini turned to the 1940s and the gunmetal-gray palette of wartime heroines like photographer Lee Miller. For Dior, John Galliano tried on a reverential perspective, paying homage to giant clients like Ava Gardner with beaded satin entrance makers. In both cases, their studied opulence seemed to miss this moment...
...craftsmen get busy. Based on the data generated during the day's testing, they create an entire set of clubs tailored to each player's specifications.

After lunch, the club technicians get back to work, tackling any lie, loft or shaft adjustments that the round reveals...

However, I was extremely disappointed with your review of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals' 159th show, which indicated a lack of appreciation for the Pudding as a performing group and the tradition of the Pudding production. I’m going to venture a guess that Richard Beck has never seen a Pudding show until this year. This alone is somewhat confusing; The Crimson Arts Board sent a Pudding virgin to review the highest-grossing show on campus...
...know what is really in that horsemeat, what you cannot taste through your olive-oil-and-lemon-juice dressing. Since horses are not raised for food in the U.S., they are not subject to the same regulations. We give our horses lots of drugs to keep them healthy, fit and pain-free. I could sell my cancerous Arabian to the slaughterhouse, and her highly medicated meat could end up on your plate. So, go ahead, enjoy your horsemeat. But just be sure that you are prepared to digest a variety of substances that are not for human consumption...
