...Casablanca (40 Brattle St.), but the ambiance inside is welcoming. Massive murals in warm colors depict scenes from the classic movie. Past the front room full of booths, the back bar area is the heart of the place. Dim lighting, huge wicker chairs, soft music from a jukebox and lush plants provide a romantic and exotic setting. While the restaurant has been in business for 40 years, renovations have made the bar feel up to date without destroying its timeless elegance. Casablanca’s extensive drink list is a wine-lover’s heaven but the dirty martinis...
Three days later, at a lush West Virginia resort where congressional Republicans were holding their annual retreat, they heard the same news. G.O.P. strategists told the lawmakers that voter rage over Enron is becoming personal, with people's fears about their own retirement exceeding their appetite for campaign reform and their anger at what the now bankrupt company did.

From that height we can see a 40-km stretch of the valley?a lush strip running east to west. To the north flows the mighty Hunter River and on the southwestern horizon rises the magnificent Brokenback Range. Tawny mineral-rich hills act as a watershed, enriching the region's fertile soil. It is the soil, in conjunction with the climate and the pioneering vintners, that...
DIED. FOSTER BROOKS, 89, teetotaler whose trademark act--an endearing lush trying to pretend he's sober--was a staple of TV variety shows of the '70s and '80s; in Encino, Calif. A friend asked Brooks to tell a few jokes at a 1969 charity golf tournament. His improvised drunk, which delighted the power crowd, led to appearances on Dean Martin roasts and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson...
