Over the next six hours we talked about the most eccentric things that two complete strangers could possibly discuss (plus the kids slept the entire time—maybe they overdosed?). I learned that Kurt was an artist in Rhode Island whose wife was a clothing designer. I told him about my concentration and how it was completely random and did not fit into anything I would ever consider doing in life, and how honestly, at a place like Harvard, that lack of direction made me anxious. We discussed crushes and boyfriends, (more about) first-loves and marriage. We talked...
...proposition, but as it turns out, all four major candidates in the latest French presidential elections had SL campaign headquarters that each received thousands of visitors daily—far more than their real headquarters would ever dream of. Nicolas Sarkozy’s campaign headquarters was its own island; François Bayrou’s handed out t-shirts that read, “Sexy Centrist”; at one point, protesters staged riots outside the headquarters of far-right Jean-Marie Le Pen’s headquarters and tossed exploding pigs at security officers...

...downtowners have to slog through traffic snarls to get there. That looked like an opportunity to aviation entrepreneur Robert Deluce, who, last October, launched Porter Airlines. Porter offered 10 round-trip flights every week day to Ottawa (and later, to Montreal), taking off and landing at idyllic Toronto Island, just a five-minute ferry ride from the city center. The island's green parks, beaches and petting zoo had long made the island a treasured summer escape for city residents - not even private cars were allowed, and the island's airport has previously banned jet-powered aircraft, except in cases...
