...York City), Heston Blumenthal (The Fat Duck in Berkshire, England), Ferran Adria (El Bulli, outside Barcelona) and Tetsuya Wakuda (Tetsuya's in Sydney). And by coming to Chicago, they paid tribute to the city's transformation from a steak-and-potatoes no-man's land into a world-class "hot spot for haute cuisine," as Adria observed over the weekend...
...This, actually, is Harvard’s problem, not the focus on ancient Greek history or African history. Why, for example, do all the Ph.D.’s come from liberal arts bastions like Reed College and Swarthmore, while the best and richest university in all the land is a mere feeder school, to use a familiar term, for the i-banks?

"There hasn't been one taken in the last six or seven months that shows...
...Jindal by giving his social conservative base a bigger share of the vote. But anti-incumbent sentiment could cost him: He began the race with a lead that made him seem like the incumbent right out of the gate. There's still time for one of the candidates to land a deadly blow or a bombshell to land; more likely, in a race that seems cautious by Louisiana standards, any surprises will come from the voters themselves...
