Most docs tend to think they should be the ones to decide what services are necessary or not, since they are personally responsible for the results of the surgery. Yet when insurance companies refuse to pay for an assistant, they cite "American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines," which list procedures as "assistant required" or "not required" (often "not required"). Not surprisingly, 84% of practicing American doctors do not belong to the AMA, and many in my acquaintance have quite a negative view of this organization...
...Wyly and Winspear, very diverse. It would be hard to imagine two architects more unlike each other than Foster, the meticulous inheritor of the principles of High Modernism, and Koolhaas, who has spent a lifetime sorting through those principles to see which ones had to go. Foster's buildings tend toward the serene and Cartesian. Koolhaas is apt to arrive at the ruptured and irregular. Foster is given to sleek materials and finely honed finishes. Koolhaas isn't above slapping what looks like AstroTurf on an outdoor terrace at the Wyly. Both of them have scored the Pritzker Prize, architecture...
...Across the U.S.? And Canada and Europe too. What makes a good deli is a place that, one, is generally family owned or owned by individuals that care.

Hawrilenko says that there are plenty of low-key intellectual players like himself, but the flamboyant, self-described “high rollers” tend to get more camera time, fueling a media image of a scene of excess, debauchery, and ballooning egos. “My friends and I, we laugh at these guys. They have their bling and their backwards hat”—Hawrilenko makes the vigorous motion of pulling an invisible hat back—“and their sunglasses on”—he puts on a pair...
London's big three international auction houses - Christie's, Sotheby's and Bonhams - are where you pick up a Picasso or Cartier tiara. But the city also has auction houses that sell more affordable items. They tend to be friendly, clubby places where you can rub shoulders with all sorts of collectors and be entertained by the bidding (the auctioneers really do say "I give you fair warning" and "going, going, gone"). And who knows? You might even raise a paddle and find yourself going home with an entirely unexpected souvenir. Here are four great hunting grounds. (See 10 things...
