...looking forward to his summer vacation in his new Capri house, which Barbara designed. There he will take walks, eat a simple plate of pasta and go for a ride on the Candida, his 40-m J-class yacht. "People think I'm provincial because I don't go to Capri to go out. I want to enjoy my family," he says. It's enjoyment, as in "Dignity, duty and enjoyment...
...When I met Lidia Bastianich for the first time about a year ago (see The Matron Saint of Pasta and Risotto con Aragosta), she told me Del Posto would be open by summer 2005. Then it was October, then November, and on and on. At some point I stopped asking; the tension over construction costs and delays was obvious.

The leggings, which were of an extremely poor quality, made me feel as if I was a societal indigent. Somebody asked me if I was comping the Advocate. I glared at them. The leggings were not a hit in the dining hall. However...
...next academic year, according to information that HUDS directors presented yesterday to the Committee on House Life (CHL)—the group that has been advocating for an extension since last April.The estimated costs of extending by one hour the entire meal service, grill service only, or salad, pasta, and deli bar service only, all exceeded the HUDS 2006-2007 budget, according to HUDS Director for Finance, Information Systems, and Procurement Raymond R. Cross. It would cost $202 per student per year to keep all of the dining halls open for an extra hour four nights per week, assuming...
