...Road Central constitute the most impressive statement it might ever make. But if that sort of display leaves you unmoved, your eye will be gratified by the low-key interior design, in entirely natural tones, created by Studio Glitt's Noriyoshi Muramatsu and the ubiquitous Super Potato. Amid a smart-casual setting of stone, wood and glass, you'll find the expansive main dining room, an upstairs bar and a terrace for "outdoor dining" (read: smoking). But the focus, quite rightly, is on the food, not decor. An unstructured menu - Zuma dispenses with the usual distinctions between starters and mains...

The film stock is scratched, the actors declaim in bombastic gestures, the canned music hits overly ominous chords, and the printed intertitles often read like the mutterings of obsession ("Force!" "Must escape!" "What if???"). If this sounds off-putting, jump back on, because Maddin's films - from Tales...
...rich and poor--benefit when they get to make their own choices rather than be subjected to a monopoly provider. So I am optimistic. If the experiment succeeds, even in part, it has the chance to transform urban education nationwide. That's why I'm excited that so many smart and spirited activists--innovative and imaginative and dedicated to the cause of ensuring that every kid in America gets a decent shot--are surging to New Orleans to be part of a mission of a lifetime that they, and their nation, will study for decades to come...
