This, the quantitative aspect of grading—we are, after all, getting $5 a head for you dolls and therefore pile up as many of you a piece as we can get—this is what too many of you seem to forget. “Coleridge may be said to be both a classical and a romantic, but then so may Dryden, depending on your point of view. In some respects, this statement is unquestionably true; but in others…” On through the night...

Forget those concierge floors that many hotels have available, mostly for the frequent-stay crowd. These new inns within are unique facilities with distinctive personalities that cater to upscale travelers willing to pay more to avoid ordinary guests. "Hotels are saying, 'We're taking you to a totally separate experience,'" says Steve Higgins, founder of Boxport, a company that purchases products for luxury hotels. "We'll charge you more...
