Suddenly, Square residents awoke to find One Potato, Two Potato replaced by the Grafton Street Pub, Ultimate Bagel became Toscanini's and 8 Holyoke was now Sandrine...
...communications at Buckingham Palace, and Charles appointed a new deputy private secretary, Mark Bolland, who has extensive media contacts and is a friend of Blair spin doctor Peter Mandelson. The Queen has taken to making George Bush-like visits to such places as supermarkets, McDonald's, even a pub; bucking some 800 centuries of tradition, she has also agreed to do away with primogeniture (in which the eldest son receives the title in favor of an older daughter)--not that the move affects her son or grandson.

Cape Town, my hometown, is a little like the pub in "Cheers" -- a place where everybody knows your name. And that may not be a good thing for the people who bombed a locally owned Planet Hollywood restaurant in the city's tourist-oriented Waterfront.

The church, school and pub are places of refuge and anxiety. But home, 742 North Evergreen Terrace, is where the show's heart is, where everyone's despair is muted by familial love. Homer (whom the writers hold in a sort of amazed contempt) bumbles into some egregious fix. Marge fusses and copes. Lisa sublimates her rancor by playing her sax. And Bart is...Bart...
