...parties and bringing home arty waifs in the manner of an old-style salonière. Her grand old house in Amsterdam's southern suburbs has only two guest rooms, so book well in advance. If the mistress of the house is around, be prepared for anecdotes that will lend real spice to your stay. In fact, with hotels like these, who needs museums...
...reminds us that five-sixths of the Dream Team is missing. And where Joey does change, it's abruptly and implausibly. When he was funny on Friends, it was usually unintentionally. He still is, but when the writers need someone to deliver a Chandler-style zinger, they just lend Joey 50 IQ points for five seconds.

His wife may be heir to the Heinz-family fortune, but campaign-finance laws prevent her giving to his campaign more than a $2,000 donation. By law, Kerry could lend himself only his, rather small, share of their joint assets. If he lost and couldn't repay the loan on his home, he would be far more dependent on Teresa's fortune; his daughters might receive no significant inheritance from him. Several advisers suggested that he might even have to leave...
