...ready for a guidebook that's less rough and more refined, take a look inside the LOUIS VUITTON CITY GUIDES. These slim volumes ($55 for a set of eight, covering 35 European destinations) are tailored to slip discreetly into one of those famously monogrammed handbags. Apart from listing the finest hotel, dining, shopping and touring options, the books provide arcane survival tips for fastidious travelers, such as the fact that Blossom & Browne's Sycamore Laundry in London uses "softened water to protect your Pradas."

...antennae, an exquisite sense of how the political calendar works (when to move, when to delay), intellectual and tactical nimbleness. Those are God-given gifts that no recent U.S. politician can match. But Clinton also succeeded because he knew how to steal his opponents' best ideas, sand off the rough edges and get them enacted. Deficit reduction, free trade, an emphasis on law enforcement (remember Clinton's 100,000 new cops) and welfare reform were traditional Republican ideas and winners all--especially welfare reform, which was an essential component of Clinton's 1996 re-election strategy...
