...cleaning - and she is, incidentally, not fat by any standards other than those that pertain in the skin-and-bones world of high-gloss women's publications. She is, however, smart - especially in The Devil Wears Prada's early going - when she's wearing her ratty working journalist clothes and sporting her total ignorance of, and contempt for, the deeply silly values Runway promotes. In context, it imparts to her an air of mystery...
...Sikh father, Sher-Gil studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where she absorbed influences from Gaugin to contemporary Hungarian art. At age 21, she settled in India, which had seen nothing like her. Most men who met her became infatuated; her numerous lovers included British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, and perhaps even Jawaharlal Nehru, India's future prime minister.

However debatable the premise, it was based on a Harris poll of 5,000 Europeans that had been featured on the front page of the Financial Times of London the day before Bush set off on his 15th trip to Europe...
...less hidebound products of state schools and university growth supplanted them. "But the public schools like Eton have done a good job remaking themselves," says Viney. "They have money, they have good teachers, the kids get every opportunity, and they come out quite confident." Hugo Dixon, a journalist who left Eton in 1981 and now runs Breakingviews, an online financial commentary service, says that British businesses - the London financial markets in particular - are so much more competitive and international that the idea of advance based on the old school tie "is just not sustainable." The Eton network helps, but "even...
