...bought the place on a whim in 1979. Roberto Sr. had been a regular customer since the early days of the hotel, established in 1965 by English pilot Michael Graham who named it after the equally dramatic Pelican Point in California. Sciò remodeled the hotel and put new luster on the elegantly understated gold and cream rooms and suites - virtually all with an outdoor space of their own. The centerpiece, however, is the expanded kitchen and open-air dining space that brought home the fruits with a Michelin star last year. I cashed in with an antipasto of veal...
...darkness, their faces caged by the tight frame. Or they'll be grouped, at sardine density, to form a cacophonous crowd. The only actors granted a little light, and thus a bit of traditional movie glamour, are Cummings and the heroine, Arlene Dahl, whose gown Alton lends a silky luster.

That's an occupational hazard of Cannes regulars, who tend to think that last year was always better, and next year will be the best. Perhaps that feeling is not unique to film...
Whether the Dixie Chicks recover their sales luster or not, the choice of single has turned their album release into a referendum. Taking the Long Way's existence is designed to thumb its nose at country's intolerance for ideological hell raising, and buying it or cursing it reveals something about you and your politics--or at least your ability to put a grudge above your listening pleasure. And however you vote, it's tough to deny that by gambling their careers, three Texas women have the biggest balls in American music...
