...remiss if we did not point out to you that Americans have a basic, primitive need for many, many articles of clothing. In lots of fun and vibrant colors. We know you'll agree: Isn't it hot and sticky over there? Shouldn't people have access to more linen? Here at J. Crew we pride ourselves on creating clothing that everyone can wear for both work and play. In fact, during a staff meeting this morning on Nantucket, we were sipping our fresh-brewed iced tea after a rigorous game of touch football on the lawn when it occurred...
...elegant paneled dining car, its tables covered with crisp linen and set with silver, china and glassware, comes from another, golden era of train travel, but it is alive and well aboard the American Orient Express, the only private luxury train in North America. From March through November this year, you can choose from five regional itineraries or select a transcontinental rail journey, either from Washington to Los Angeles or across Canada between Vancouver and Montreal. The cost ranges from $2,490 to $6,990. There's a saving of $300 if you reserve six months in advance...

...trains do, the City of New Orleans slipped with cat-like stealth out of Union Station and glided past Chicago's night skyline. Barely under way, we were summoned to the dining car and ensconced in a cushy booth with white linen tablecloth and fresh flowers opposite Gloria and Gary Pothast, a couple from Duluth, Minn. Stephan, between bantering and chuckling, confided that his favorite on the menu was the blackened catfish (prepared fresh in the galley below, unlike the reheated frozen food we had eaten on the Lake Shore Limited). While not up to the best of New Orleans...
