...What Collins has done with the hotel's design, Gordon Ramsay has striven to achieve in its kitchens. The London NYC is home to the British chef's American debut. Between his formal eponymous restaurant and the more laid-back London Bar, I'd opt for the buzzier, less stuffy bar. Its small-plates menu includes clever interpretations of traditional dishes; try Ramsay's BLT - bacon and onion cream, chilled lettuce velouté and tomato gelée in a martini glass. Come to think of it, it's a good metaphor for the hotel - a playful, beautiful twist...
London's pre-eminence wasn't guaranteed by the Big Bang, however. More recently, the U.K.'s decision to opt out of the euro in the early '90s stoked concern that Frankfurt - now home to the European Central Bank - would eclipse the City as Europe's leading financial center. Those concerns have gone the way of the franc, lira and deutsche mark. Thanks to London's ability to exploit its long-standing expertise in marketmaking and English's position as one of Europe's primary languages, there are now more euros traded for dollars, pounds and yen each...
...engine got a boost, producing 420 h.p. and 413 lb.-ft. of torque--good for a 0-to-60-m.p.h. time of 4.9 sec. And Jag loaded up on high-tech gadgetry like shift paddles on the steering wheel and parking assist (via a video screen).

...stick to hold those accountable who do not participate. With that in mind, we propose that Harvard abandon the print edition model of the CUE and restrict access to the online edition only to those who had filled out their CUE forms the semester before (or pro-actively opted-out) and to new students. In addition, Harvard should post verbatim feedback of students—edited only for profanity and obscenity—directly on the online edition. Such a reformulation accomplishes two important ends: first, publishing comments makes the CUE more interesting and informative. Too often CUE reviews...
...both philosophical and practical levels, professors’ ability to opt out of the CUE guide is offensive to students, who essentially are deemed unworthy of making judgments—even ones that lack any repercussions—on their vaunted professors. Students might not have doctorates yet, but so long as they are being given the responsibility for choosing their courses, they deserve reasonable information upon which to base those decisions. It is a shame that not a single professor stood up in support of mandatory evaluations for all professors...
