Maloof made the Palms--whose casino floor is full of the older locals who played in his previous hotel--into a hipster draw by housing the 2002 MTV's Real World inside a suite in the hotel, a risky move the rest of Vegas thought was suicide (having cameras inside a hotel was believed to be like asking the gaming commission to shut you down). But the Real World scheme worked better than expected. It made the hotel and its steak house, nightclubs and tattoo parlor the hottest spots for the barely legal. It is Britney Spears' home away from...
...buildings into an imaginary skyline as sexy as anything from TV's space-age Jetsons cartoon. Remember when the future was fun? Perhaps it still is. But scary fun all the same. After 9/11, skyscrapers first have to be places where people can feel comfortable on those high, exposed floors. Military-style security has re-entered the thinking of civilian architects in a way not seen since the Middle Ages, when every castle was a castle keep - both a courtly residence and a defensible perimeter.

He had spent his entire career buried in LG's stuffy bureaucracy at the company's main appliance factory in the industrial city of Changwon. He admits to being more comfortable in the field visiting factory floors and design centers than in his spacious office overlooking Seoul's Han River. It would be wrong, though, to underestimate Kim, who has become a near legend in Seoul for the turnaround he engineered at LG's appliance business. When he took over in 1996, LG was making washing machines...
...trepidation going into the first class proved to be misplaced. Sprawled on the floor in front of a driftwood composition, it was relaxing and even fun to do two-minute sketches in a variety of materials. I got a bit ahead of myself early on, when I decided that I, too, could imitiate Jackson Pollock—an episode which came to an abrupt halt when my ink splattered not into a beautiful pattern on my paper but rather into a less desirable blob on the shirt of the budding artist standing next to me. I also learned that raspberries...
