...setting: the decrepit seaside resort of Blackpool, whose own mayor admits it's "a bit dated." The gathering: Britain's Conservative Party, whose members' dominant hair color is silver. The theme for their annual conference last week: "Today's Britain, Tomorrow's Conservatives." Like the whole scene, the slogan had an awkward edge, implying the Conservatives on hand today are not really a match for the problems of today's Britain. After three big defeats by Labour, even the proudest veterans of Margaret Thatcher's revolution must be wondering whether deliverance will ever come. And despite a surprisingly sparkling convention...
...their members, they represent the very best Harvard has to offer. The high life is served up on a silver platter, featuring regular parties, free travel, and a never-ending stream of nubile young women, eager for their company. Upon graduation, members can expect an advantage in the job market, thanks to large and well-connected alumni networks, whose influence keeps these bastions of Harvard’s social elite rooted so firmly in the past. Though Yale’s equivalents to these societal menaces are more widely known around the world, Harvard’s havens...
First place goes to UBS with their smooth, sleek, gray and silver pen. The color palette says to those who see it, “yes I work ridiculous hours, but I’m rich, bitch!” Nevertheless, what matters is what’s under the hood, so to speak, and taking the top off this pen doesn’t disappoint.

However, the pen receives only runner-up status because it’s too simplistic. There’s no color, there’s no life. A pen has to be like a model and change its look with its function: “You’re cheetah! You’re a lamb! You’re an iguana...
...goes to the Capital One pen. With its bright pink design, Capital One shows a little dexterity beyond their ridiculously bad Viking commercials (or are those Huns?). What’s more, the inside of the body of the pen is a game in which one must guide a silver ball through a maze, much like the games we all got as party-favors when we were six. But just like those party-favor games, the pen’s game proved to be too difficult and frustrating, and soon we jumped on the pen shouting, “Who?...
