...Forget peanuts or pork scratchings. Bars these days are competing for the drinker's dollar with increasingly imaginative food - and the global trend toward smokeless venues is creating pleasant environments in which to savor it. In Singapore, a cluster of gastrobars, as they're called, are becoming dining destinations in their own right, dishing out the likes of o-toro sashimi and Boston lobster to famished partygoers...
...forget to check out the forerunner of Singapore's gastrobar scene. Since its opening in 2001, the New Asia Bar on the 71st and 72nd floors of the Swissôtel, www.singapore-stamford.swissotel.com, has been famed for its superior quick bites as much as its fabulous view.

John Edwards knew that from experience. Before Edwards ever entered politics, Helms heard about the death of his teen-age son, Wade, in a car accident and went to the floor of the Senate...
...have cable are experiencing a golden age of sarcasm (from the Greek sarkazein, "to chew the lips in rage"). Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann are digging into our direst forebodings so adroitly and intensely that we may want to cry, "Stop tickling!" Forget earnest punditry. In a world of hollow White House pronouncements, evaporating mainstream media and metastasizing bloggery, it's the mocking heads who make something like sense...
