Giuliani gets mostly high marks as mayor–for cutting crime and welfare and for heroic leadership after 9/11. But New Yorkers also remember his thirst for power and bouts of unwarranted nastiness. After 9/11, the mayor briefly weighed challenging the city constitution that barred a third term. “He was hellbent on doing it,” says one former aide from this period, who wouldn’t be named for fear of retaliation. McCain was among those who talked Giuliani out of it, arguing that he’d be better off going out on top....

They saw it happen to liquor, they saw it happen to cigarettes, but American wine makers believed the moderation craze could never touch them. On the contrary; for most of the 1980s wine gained sales at the expense of liquor, as the glass-of-white-wine replaced the gin-and-tonic at cocktail parties in the same way the raw mushroom supplanted the frank-in-a-jacket. In the last few years, though, wine consumption itself has dropped precipitously: from around 2....

HIRSI ALI: No. There is no official state fatwa , like the one Salman Rushdie had. There are simply individuals who think that by killing me they will go right to heaven. I can’t live my life looking over my shoulder all the time and thinking, “Oh, my God, am I going to be killed now?” The bodyguards [outside] are armed, yes, but I’m not allowed to go into too much detail....

Only 8 percentage points separated the winner from the loser in a race that Villaraigosa–until the last few weeks–seemed poised to win. But for all his efforts to present himself as the face of the future, he fell victim to campaign tactics rooted in the past. His opponent, James Hahn, effectively portrayed him as untrustworthy and soft on crime–a task made easier by Villaraigosa’s 1996 letter requesting presidential clemency for a convicted drug dealer....

In this list, we’ll look at several factors that explain why Apple products are so expensive. 1. Apple’s Ecosystem In tech, an ecosystem loosely refers to a set of individual devices that complement each other to form a bigger, more useful unit. Take the iPhone and MacBook, for example. While both are individual devices, if used together, they increase each other’s usability and improve the overall experience. Apple’s ecosystem is different from other companies because Apple devices typically only connect with other Apple devices, and work really well while doing so....

Advertising has become an indelible part of cricket today, aiming to make the feeble whispers of the fifty over game and measured courtesies of the longer format heard amidst the clamour and frenzy of cricket’s cash-cows, the ostensibly promoted T20 leagues. No longer do you have just match stills played as a part of the advertisement, which would have sufficed to generate enough buzz, but now one must put up with cricketers or much worse, celebrities popping in and out of the frame, unconvincingly dishing out quirky tag-lines....
