...townhouses whose gardens still overflow with frangipanis, bougainvilleas and Indian almonds imported by the island's opulent forebears. And somehow, despite being considered for U.N. World Heritage status, Ibo has been barely rediscovered. There are just three small hotels: Miti Miwire (from $50 a night), Cinco Portas Pensão (from $100) and Ibo Island Lodge (from $350 a night per couple). All are beautiful converted houses, but the lodge has huge rooms, Goan four-posters, the best pool and best sunset view, and its rates include air transfers from the mainland, three spectacular meals...

The job requirements of punditry - commenting on a variety of political and nonpolitical happenings - are not necessarily the best preparation for a run at the Republican nomination, even in this environment. (Just ask Pat Buchanan.) When asked by O'Reilly why she is still the target of so much criticism, Palin replied, "It's not about me personally. They don't like the message. They don't like the commonsense conservative solutions I articulate." Maybe. But eventually, even other Republicans may be emboldened to challenge...
...When O'Reilly asked Palin for comment about Game Change, she deemed our reporting "gossipy anonymous accusations," declared Schmidt's characterizations of her false and dismissed the book as irrelevant. "The rest of America doesn't care about that kind of crap," she said...
