...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...
That's not to say that I think the economic news will improve or that markets are poised for a sustained surge. Media pundits, economists and market seers vastly overestimate their ability to predict such things. What I do know is that smart investors yearn for this kind of turbulence. As Warren Buffett once put it: "The true investor welcomes volatility" because it often produces "irrationally low prices" for "solid businesses...
...actor like Pitt invests his cachet in producing an epic-size movie on an indie-film budget ($30 million or so for Jesse James). Or because two boutique studios chip in for a modern western revenge film, as Paramount Vantage and Miramax did for Joel and Ethan Coen's smart, violent, defiantly quirky No Country for Old Men, coming in November.

"That wasn't anything that was in the dna" of the company, says Walsh. "I've stressed this significantly at every opportunity internally: We're not going to tolerate that sort...
...more constructive way," in a way where their own party isn't taking embarrassing votes. "A lot of their amendments when they're offered don't make a lot of Senators happy," Lott said. "I mean Senators voting for bicycle paths instead of bridge repairs? That's not the smart vote substantively or politically." In other words: Let's address your concerns behind closed doors rather than embarrassing the Senate as a whole with these kind of votes. Traditionally Senators are leery of voting against another's earmarks, even if they are bike paths; their own might...
