...especially with the various JFKs. “The first campaign I ever worked on was JFK’s [John F. Kennedy] in 1960, so I thought it’d be good to return,” Parker said. Since that first campaign—at the tender age of 13—Parker has worked on 13 presidential campaigns in all. Twelve years in academia didn’t blunt his political edge either. He led Greenpeace and co-founded Mother Jones, a magazine devoted to investigative journalism...

Such "price harmonization" was one of many economic virtues the euro was supposed to usher in: it would eliminate many transaction costs, put an end to bruising currency devaluations, allow savers and lenders to benefit from...
...hall doldrums, be sure to try the tuna tartare appetizer—the fish is served on a green and amber-hued tower of cucumber salad and honeyed mango ($13). For entrees, the cous cous royale with seven vegetables ($24) is served in a traditional tanjine style, which ensures tender vegetables and meat since a funnel-like ceramic lid keeps cooking vapors trapped in the dish until the meal is served...
