...Resorts acquired it and began a 20-year restoration and enhancement project. So far, the cost has been more than $55 million for improvements that include retrofitting the 389-room main building to more than meet California earthquake standards. Rooms have been reconfigured and refurbished; restaurants, terraces and an oceanfront lawn have been added. Pending discussions with civic and environmental groups, the corporation hopes to build more guests rooms, a vast conference center and a spa-and-fitness facility; add more green space; place most parking underground; and restore a classic garden...
...rebuilt in 1926, the cost was $6 million--a substantial amount for that time, but nothing compared with the cost of its latest nine-year restoration: $135 million. That money bought a revitalization as well as a renovation: guest rooms were done over twice; a 20,000-sq.-ft. oceanfront spa and fitness center was built; so was a new ballroom, and lobbies and loggia were restored.

When the U.S. embargo on Cuba finally goes, no one will miss it as much as Fidel Castro. That much was clear Wednesday when the Cuban strongman led a reported 800,000 people in a protest march along Havana's oceanfront to denounce Washington's latest adjustments to the 38-year embargo. Now that little Elian Gonzalez is back at school, the embargo remains the most useful tool in Castro's ideological shed: It provides both an all-purpose excuse for the privations suffered by his people since the collapse of Cuban socialism's Soviet patron, and a nationalist rallying...
