...America’s oldest and most refined cocktails: the Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail was invented in the late 19th century at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Ky., for a prominent Southern colonel and whiskey connoisseur. Since that time the Old Fashioned has been a favorite of the stylish. From speakeasies to lawn parties to Hollywood soirees, the Old Fashioned was such a staple it inspired a Cole Porter song, “Make it Another Old Fashioned, Please...
...fray, Giovanni Agnelli, the patriarch of the Fiat car dynasty, was a subtler symbol of Italy's unique brand of state-stewarded capitalism. Praised around the world as the man who brought Italian industry into the big leagues in the 1960s and 1970s with mass production of simple but stylish automobiles, Agnelli, now 81, has also been known at home to push through special legislation for Fiat - and to be more than willing to ask for (and get) public financial help when times get tough. And times don't get much tougher than right now. Fiat Auto, which employs more...
...crime-in-new-bottles strategy owes a lot to the forensics hit CSI, which uses high-tech camera tricks to underscore its theme of better crime fighting through science. Its spin-off, CSI: Miami (CBS, Mondays, 10 p.m. E.T.), likewise offers stylish flashback scenes, overexposed with flashbulb-like bursts of light, and special effects that take us on a Fantastic Voyage--style journey inside pieces of evidence. The setup is similar enough to satisfy CSI fans, but the few variations are missteps, especially the grim performances and the broadly telegraphed sexual tension between leads David Caruso and Kim Delaney. Still...
...inhuman conditions forced on an African doctor (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Turkish woman (Amélie's Audrey Tautou) and other immigrants working in a London hotel. The movie clicks, however, because Steven Knight's script tucks sharply observed commentary into an appealing love story. Phillip Noyce's stylish The Quiet American, based on the 1954 Graham Greene novel, uncovers early U.S. chicanery in Vietnam. But it's more impressive for Michael Caine's perfectly graded performance as a tired Englishman whose political scruples - and sexual possessiveness - put him at odds with the blandly conniving Yank played by Brendan Fraser. Even...
...glow-in-the-dark card (already recalled) and the new kidney-shaped Discover 2GO card that can be worn on a key chain. "Teens today want to customize their credit cards as they do their cell phones," says Michael Wood, vice president of Teenage Research Unlimited. But the most stylish cards aren't necessarily the best deals. A student card should offer a rate from 10% to 18%, even if the introductory offer is lower. Starting credit lines are usually from $500 to $1,000 but can be lowered at parents' request. If that's not enough security, a worthy...
