...Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete scattered throughout your bluebook will have you up for sainthood. Or at least Dean’s List. Name at least the titles of every other book Hume wrote; don’t just say Medieval cathedrals, name nine. Think up a few specific examples of “contemporary decadence,” like Natalie Wood. If you can’t come up with titles, try a few sharp metaphors of your own; they at least have the solid clink of pseudo-facts...
This special supplement to TIME is dedicated to luxury's newest ideas, products, creators and places. Our mission this time is to examine luxury's newest frontiers?from the shores of the Bosporus, where Marion Hume talked to the new generation of freewheeling Istanbullus, to the Thomas Pink store in New York City, where Josh Tyrangiel discovered the comfort of custom-made shirts.

...HUME: We were very worried about the exit polling because it's been so dodgy in the last several outings. So we're going to look at it with very great care. The problem, of course, is that the first cut we're going to see is about 5 p.m. Exit polling is better when you've got a 12,000-person national sample.
