...Arcadia is the location of Black Cat, a dinner jazz club, and vodka bar Red Square. From there, revelers stagger to X2, a mammoth new club in Plaza Senayan. Senayan City has Premiere, a live-music bar attached to the Senayan Studio XXI cinema. Next-day hangover cures can be easily found. The malls abound with popular chain restaurants like Waroeng Kita, or you could try Senayan City's Crystal Lagoon, a koi pond surrounded by international eateries. Staying in the Senayan bubble may not be the conventional tourist choice, but at least the only thing keeping you out late...

This fall Disney (et tu, Mickey?) releases Enchanted, in which a princess (Amy Adams) is magically banished by an evil queen to modern New York City, where she must fend for herself, parodying her princess...
...managed to convey her usual A-student policy virtuosity in an informal, accessible way. "Wouldn't it be great to have a President who can speak for an hour without notes?" former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, a presidential candidate turned Clinton supporter, told the next crowd, assembled in Red Oak despite biblical rains. It was a classic reaction to a Clinton performance. To be sure, other candidates can go noteless for an hour or more--some, like Joe Biden, famously so--but Clinton's flagrant competence is her dominant personality trait. And, sad to say, it may have very little...
