...doesn't pay to get out too far ahead of the classically trained jury. "You have to stay in the comfort zone of the judges," says Roland Henin, the U.S. team???s French-born coach. "They can't be tasting or looking at something they don't know, because you'll lose them." Innovative Copenhagen chef Rene Redzepi, who served on the jury, was a little regretful about that comfort zone. "I was hoping it wouldn't be luxury item upon luxury item, that they would strip away the pretension," he said after tasting his way through 12 plates...
...Bobbi Brown Living Beauty, comes out next month. Wandering the markets and sampling the cuisine were high on her priority list, but Brown's eponymous cosmetics company was never far from her mind. "I found a lot of really great things that I brought back to our product-development team???a million different soaps and lavenders, all from the local markets," she says.

The funds help subsidize the school's other athletic programs. Conversely, if football and basketball were cut down to approximate women's sports in size, the entire system would collapse. The N.C.A.A. warns that Title IX "may well...
...them are women, and the name of the game that has done most to turn the simple teaching pro into a combined guru, shrink, social worker, friend and sounding board is mixed doubles. Of course, mixed doubles?a man and a woman partnered against another man and woman team???has always been part of the game of tennis. And much of U.S. tennis, whether singles or doubles, is still largely played men v. men, women v. women. But in monosex tennis, the stresses and strains of competition are more easily confined to the court, the conventions and etiquette more firmly...
