Lopez's fame owed less to his talent than to his location: New York City. If you can make it there, the self-obsessed Big Apple media often assume, you can make it anywhere. And now they're saying it about Michael Bloomberg, another solid local performer who wouldn't get a second look if he hailed from Tampa Bay. Bloomberg has made the covers of both Time and Newsweek, the latter promising that his would be "one of the most significant third-party bids for the White House in American history."

Asked if any of his 4,000 employees wear the hijab, he says he remembers one who did, but adds that she wouldn't have had contact with clients: "I'm against wearing the hijab at work. Shows of religion just result in antagonism between the majority culture and minorities." Recruiters often ask Boujema Hadri, owner of the Paris-based employment agency Very Important Training, if a candidate with an Arab name wears the veil. "They...

And while many pubs are closing, there are also new ones opening. The new tenants of the Greene King are bullish: "We wouldn't enter the market unless we thought we could survive."
